This Power Supply decent?

[Taoro]

Hey,
A few weeks ago my power supply started craping out on me. I had the computer shut down randomly a few times, and the fan in the back was going out. We opened up the case and cleaned everything out with canned air, and everything is running fine now(there was A LOT of dust in there...). The power supply im talking about is actually our second one, the first one, that came with the computer, blew out because of a thunderstorm, and no surge protector... I know, were lucky the motherboard didnt go with it. Anyway, we recently ordered this one

Is it decent? My mother looked at the price and ordered it right away, after getting my Ok first, but I dont know much about power supply quality, and I only made sure it supported what we need and was ATX...

Here is some of my specs if they help:

AMD Sempron 3000+ @1800Mhz
512MB RAM
2 80GB HD(primary is SATA, secondary is IDE)
Currently GeforceFX 5500 installed (Getting a Geforce7600 GS with the power supply she ordered)
DVD/CR-RW Drive

Thanks in advance

erm i wouldnt bet on it ive got an antec 420w and that cost 35pounds so $70 but it is by a good brand. I think you may have just wasted $20 you should have checked here and looked up a well known brand as something cheap is not going to be very good.

Whoa, don't go with a $20 PSU. Getting a cheap PSU is a bad idea. Go with one at least over $50.
