all in all, the previously mentioned friend who's PSU failed cost them nearly $250 in new parts. All could have been avoided for a GOOD $75 power supply.

/yourself for getting less than 3ghz.. i got my 2.2ghz p4 board and cpu for free
1gb ram though is ------- sweet. i picked up a 512 for $50 and kicking myself for not getting another for that price.
ever since i've had 2 power supplies die on me (killed 1 40gb hd and 1 cpu) i don't suggest anything less than 400w, especially if you have a few fans or other extras.

And I've had 3 power supplies crap out on me over time, one killed a hard drive. Always invest in a good power supply.

go get an enermax or antec power supply. 350w should be enough.
wattage means nothing in the "quality" of a power supply. Most high powered systems (P4 EE, 2gb ram SLi) will draw a max 250w DC power. so getting a quality 350-400w PSU will be sufficient.
