5" x 5" x 4" 1/3 ;^)

400w to 500w reputable brand. I use Antec these days. There are rumors that
now that they have built a reputation, they are going to sell out to
someone. Usually the way it goes.

PC Power & Cooling sells good stuff, but not the cheapset. It's been
a long time since I called them but I expect that if you do you'll get
a competant sales person that will take your specs and give you a
right-sized PSU.

A good quality 400 Watt PSU would work well.

Hmm, I run a similar system (Asus A8V, AMD64 3000+, 2 HDs, CDROM,
DVDwriter, 6800GT graphics card, 512MB mem) on a 315 Watt PSU. Running
seti@home the whole day without problems,

hmm ok becuase I have a 350watt right now, and i have been having some
problems running games, and having my screen go black during play, and
someone told me they thought it was the fact that my power supply was
too small. But i thought it was wierd bc my computer is still running
at the time, just the monitor goes into sleep mode

The Antec 550watt power supplies are good quiet quality supplies.

They aren't much more than the various 4xx watt supplies.

(..and I don't want to hear about your $15 600watt marvels

Don't waste your time with a 4xx supply that you'll be replacing in
two years for a bigger one.
