Help choosing a new 500W PSU

[WestonG]

I think my ultra cheap PowerCool 450W just died. I need a reliable 500W replacement for under £50 with a single dedicated 12v rail. suggestions?

No - Don't touch a CM PSU unless it has a good review from
jonnyguru, hardware secrets, hardocp, hardware canucks.

Too many of CM PSU's on the johnnylucky.org "Lemon List"
