Abits NF7 mobos (and all other nforce2 mobos probably???) use the +12v line to power the CPU, so the +5v rail is redundant as far as being the 'most crucial rail'. I'd go for an Antec true power (I did!!
) because they have a voltaged sensed & corrected +12v rail, also their +12v rail is independant from the +5v rail. Most other PSU's have the +5v & +12v 'tied' together so that the current won't increase for the +12v unless the +5v has a heavy load on it (which it won't without a +5v CPU usage). Antec all the way people!!

Antec TruePower 550W is an outstanding PSU ... I am in LUV with mine, hehe

I second that!!, my 550watter is good for +12v CPU mobos',
and +5v CPU mobos' as well
