Don't go for a power supply with a big number. | |

Higher wattage power supplies use more power (obviously) and make more noise. | |

I'm not sure top be honest!! I bought this computer almost exactly 5 years ago and it's starting to struggle. The monitor/keyboard/mouse have all been changed over time and are all good so I don't want to buy new ones! So it seems to make sense to get the bits and make a new one. I want it to be up to date and competent so I don't have to upgrade it 6 months on! I'm not a gamer or anything, Just use it for the net/work/pics/music. I'm buying the bits over a couple of months so I haven't really set a price limit. I'll pay however much is needed to make a decent machine (within reason) | |

Oh, and I would say that any shop would only be selling ATX-compliant power-supplies now, unless you specifically asked for AT (in which case they'd probably need to dig deep in their warehouses)... | |

It's all to do with the size/shape of the motherboard, and is generally known as the "form-factor". AT is the older version, and was superceded by ATX. | |
