I just replaced my bad powersupply.  I put in a 250 W one.  I believe the
orig was also 250.  There isn't much in that system either...  4gb hdd, 32mb
ram, cdrom, 4mb video card, nic, sound card, floppy.  I guess I could take
out the sound card and floppy since I'm not really using them...same with
the cdrom come to think of it.  I wanted to put in a bigger drive..maybe one
of those ide controller cards to help run the drive.  Maybe I should
re-think that if I'm pushing the things power limits already.  I doubt I am
though...I've had waaay more stuff in there before.
