    Unless you want a reason to buy a new computer I suggest you replace the Bestec power supply ASAP !
    Bestec power supplies are best know for suddenly failing & frying the motherboard.
    The power supply still appears to work though.
    Emachine computers come with a Bestec power supply & that is exactly what has given emachine a bad name.

    It would probably be a hack of a lot better then what came in your HP.

    Hp uses a lot of "rebranded" Bestec power supplies.

    On the HP power supply label there should be a UR .
    Right under the UR will be a code [Exaple: "E27532" ]
    If you go to the UL look up page ,

    http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/gfilenbr.html

    You can find out who really made that "HP" power supply.

    BTW, That works for any electronic item with the UR on the label .

    To be honest, you are asking about power supplies I've never heatd of.
    I stick to the known brands,
    Antec,OCZ,Silverstone,etc.

    If you go here you will see the [Akasa] PaxPower is rated as Tier 3 which makes it pretty decent.

    I'd use anything that ISN'T on the Tier 5 list.;)
