I ordered an Antec Smart-Power 500 watt PSU from newegg. I didn't think I would need more since the system has an old mobo, and a PCI graphics card lol.
Just a little FYI, the Antec Smart Power and True Power II series have had a lot of issues with bad capacitors. You may get lucky again, as you did with the Apevia, but don't be to surprised if you end up RMAing the SP500 within a years time.

The Antec Earthwatts, Trio, and NeoHE are all good lines however.
