The Fortron Source "Green" (-GLN) supplies have been treating me well and are highly affordable.  You get active PFC if you care and a very quiet fan that's been much more durable than the one in the otherwise-okay, even-cheaper Coolmax I'd been using prior.  

I'd suggest double-checking for similar failure modes before using them with irreplaceable CBM hardware.

(Newegg product link for USians.)

My one quirk with the FSPs is probably unrelated to them -- they regulate well enough as far as I'm concerned, but for whatever reason vDIMM on a Foxconn Socket AM2 board used with one came out to 1.75v and required a 50mV "boost" in the BIOS options to get it stable at spec.  Probably more a matter of the board design, and yes, 50mV matters that much to DDR2.
