ATX PS for Domain Controller

[COKE CAN]

Looking to build a machine solely for being used as a domain controller. Looking to spend as little as possible, but also not looking to have this fail any time soon. What is the best quality for the buck Power Supply?

just build a decent PC...DC or not, doesn't matter

I plan on that! But I am unsure of what brands hold up the best for the dollar. Hence my original post.

Fortron make some inexpensive but reliable psu.

What all is going to be in the machine?

I agree with lopoetve and get a Fortron 350-400w. It can be found for around 30-40$.

Wait. Does the board have the 2x2 CPU Power connector? If not, do NOT buy a multi railed power supply.
