Guess you don't want my suggestion...
I'll give it anyway.

A 400 watt PSU or greater should work fine.

Fortron and Antec are a couple of good PSU companies.

I have an Antec TruePower 430watt and it is running
Gigabyte 8KNXP Ultra-64
Prescot 3200 CPU
ATI X800XT-PE
2-gig Corsair TwinXPro 2-2-2-5
2x200GB Maxtor drives
1x74GB Raptor
Plextor 712 DVD Burner
Floppy
PCMCIA card reader

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

BTW, if you are not upgrading and rig is working and stable, you probally do not need another PSU.

its not stable, when i game it crashes almost always. But I think I found the problem. Its too hot in my case. I opened it and put a fan in front of it now it works great. I dont see how putting another smmall fan inside will help this rig at all. Its going to blow hot air around.
