Replacement for NeoHE430

It was nice while it lasted,
but my Antec NeoHE430 has gone and fried itself.
For no good reason appearantly, which makes me wonder if it's reliable in the first place

- I got it along with my P150.

So my question is simple; which PSU should I swap it for?
Preferably same specs/efficiency and not too pricey

is your psu still under warranty?

Nope, 3 month warranty

you looking for a super quiet psu or just a decent psu that will do the job?

Just saw I can get a Seasonic S12-430 for about â‚¬70.
Anyone have any better ideas? Otherwise I'll just go for that one...

3 month warranty, what the hell? Aren't all PSUs supposed to be covered for at least one year...? IIRC the retail NeoHE now have a 5 year warranty.

Even if the store sold it to you with a very limited warranty, the PSU should still have the manufacturer's warranty from Antec regardless of the store's own terms.

Antec's AQ3 warranty means three years, not three months. FYI.

I didn't jack around with the whole RMA process. Who knows -- they might have made me ship back both the P150 and the power supply, instead of just the PSU. I just bought a Rev. A4 NeoHE 500 instead of taking the risk that Antec would keep me in limbo for months. Time will tell if I just felt like being a masochist, or whether the new revision really corrects all the old problems.
