they look ok to me, I would question the -14 volt one though, it may not be correct, you can read the same voltages with a multimeter to be sure.

I wouldn't be suprised if that was right because the power supply was one that came with my case, and my case was like 35 dollars....lol...If I would have had the money I would have gone for an antec....

If you find any extra money laying around, that's the one part I'd be sure not to skimp on. Get a quality unit to prevent any premature frying of components.

As a rule of thumb, I monitor the rails, and if they step outside +/- 5%, I change the PSU.

Your negative voltages are way out of spec, anything over 10% I investigate.

Here is a screen shot of my voltages right after I turned my computer on today! About 5 minutes ago.
