Did the box come with the power supply already in it???? You could almost buy a new box with a power supply in it for almost the same price. My System: Cohen

I would look in your motherboard manual and find out how many Wats it needs to run. It looks like an older baord, so i'm sure you could get a good cheap Power Supply.
Ya, but then you have to move your mother board, move your drives, and deal with a bad power supply that came with a box. The power supplies in new boxes are soo hit or miss it would be best to just buy a good new power supply, and keep your box/setup so you can just replace it |

I'd grab a super-quiet 450W or 500W. I have a 620W zerodba that is awesome but a bit overkill for that setup.

Also another thing i should ask is - how many drives and things are you providing power to??? Eg. how many hard drives.... CD / DVD drives???

No, I'm saying there's a brand called Aerocool that makes a 620W PSU called zeroDBA that's really quiet, but that may be way more power than you need. Look around for quiet PSUs at 450W-500W.
