300 watts. Unless you want to watch your computer do absolutely nothing.

Now a days, 300W especially with the T-Bird.

I ain't seen a beating like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose

With the recent AMD processors, I'd say 300w is a minimum. More would be better, of course.
