Tantrix: Anyway, it's 400 watt

stonebro: Not enough to power the newer tech cards. You'll want 550-650 for that, preferably a recognized brand, since you'll want spare wattage also. Don't get greedy on the PSU, a faulty unit can wreck your entire computer.

So I have to replace this thing? Hm,guess I have to ask someone doing it for me...

If you can change a lightbulb without A) breaking the bulb, B) breaking the socket, C) breaking the wall, D) suffering horrible death by electrocution, you can change a PSU.
Open case, disconnect power cables from units, unscrew old PSU, inscrew new PSU, reconnect power cables to units, close case, push button, receive bacon

Hm, doesn't sound too hard. But I rather ask a proffessional than doing it myself. I have a certain self mistrust when it comes to modifying stuff.
Care to suggest a good PSU?

Look Tantrix's ghost, here's the deal. A "proffessional" (read: high schooler) will do little work and charge a lot, and in the end you won't get any EXP points and you won't gain a level. Also, how'll you get over your mistrust if you don't start with the easy work?

I meant by "professional" my brother, who is a tech geek.
