A power supply is something you should NEVER skimp on.  A lot of problems with machines can be blamed on a cheap PS.  Do yourself a favor and get something decent.

Oh, yeah, I can help in that regard also.

Go ahead and spend the $13 for the 430W.   8)

Well, I'd get the $13 430W over the $11 250W, is what I meant.

I'd get something decent, and not even think about a cheapie PS, IMNSHO.

But of course you're joking, in any regard.  Even without smileys.   ;)

this pS is gonna run a cheapo computer as it is.  I'm not gonna drop any serious cash on this one.  This isnt for my main cab but for my experimental mini cab disgn (Top Secret)

What is no secret is that I'm cheap, very cheap.  I'm shootin to finish my cab for less than $100 and the mini cab is gonna be free (built with spare parts laying about, except the Power supply, lol)

Do what you will.  Even if you do decide in the future to scrap this project, the PS will always be there for another project.  Luckily, they decline in obselescence far slower than the components they power.

You may want to check out a site like http://www.hardforums.com and see if anyone is posting up old power supplys.  May actually end up being cheaper.
