I'm building a new computer, do you think it'll be alright to use the Dell dimension 4400 power supply (which is a 250 watt PS) on this

4 Gigs of RAM

and I have 2 HDD's. 1 of them is a 70GB and the other is a 40GB.

And I also have a CD-RW

Do you think the old Dell dimension 250 watt power supply could handel this build? As you can see the PC is not super amazing, it's a pretty simple set up. I was just going to use an adapter so it can come from a 20 pin to a 24 pin.

Here is the 250 Watt power supply

Do you think this'll work or will it ruin my pc and blow up in my mouth? mmm

I wouldn't. OEM's use cheap parts to put together their systems to begin with, and then PSU's degrade over time, and I imagine that PSU has been in use for quite some time. Go with this:

Dells PSUs are known for being a bit under-rated. So it might. Or it might till you try and run a game. It also might not run at all. It's at the ragged edge of not having enough power, so it will probably run hot, and high fan speed, and be noisy.

I know I sound really cheap saying this but I cant really aford that right now, I just baught a bunch of new parts to build my new pc and I cant even get that (which is a great price btw) Do you think it would be alright if I went with this?

It has good reviews by the guys that baught it and one of the guys say it doesn't feel cheep and flimsy but nice and heavy and works just fine, no one has reported that it's died on them or anything, sound good to me. What do you think?

Im not sure about that SFX form factor PSU. How about FSP Group ATX350-PA 350W $30

 

[WR2]

SFX = 5”(W) x 2.5”(H) x 4”(D)

 

[WR2]

Standard ATX = 5.9"(W) x 3.3"(H) x 5.5"(D)
