Like 450W for under 15 bucks, i think.
Also, justdeals.com has shipping for 1.95 on their merchandise.

A 450w PSU for $15 won't run his system. It will boot up and struggle for a couple of months and then die. The wattage of a PSU doesn't mean a whole lot -- it's the quality of the PSU, the current supplied to each rail, and the heat sinks in the box. A 350w Enermax will outperform a 1,000w Raidmax PSU for said reasons.
