Finnaly, im getting a new video card, this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143110Now, the card requires 250W of power to work. I looked in my manual and it says
200W or 250W. How do i find out which one i have, 200 or 250? The computer is a dell demension 2400 btw.
EDIT:looked inside, found out that the power supply is only 200W....
Now i need to buy a new power supply. Does anyone know where i ca get a new power supply for a dell dimension 2400? I need one with 300W(the card only needs 250W but i want an extra 50W to avoid problems)

None.
You'll probably be fine with that, just so you know. They overrate minimum power just to be safe. But I don't know the rest of your specs so..
To be honest, I don't know much about upgrading PSU's on any retail computers like that.
None.
a 1000W powersupply dont cost much. Just buy it.
None.
Don't listen to mr. global warming (bedazed) 1000 watts is a waste if you dont have sli cards (which he cant have
)
if i remembered correctly you have a dell 2400 the same comp i have
it had a 200 watt power supply

Pentium 4 @ 2.66GHZ
512MB ram, PC2700 i think (333mhz)
1 hard drive @ 7200 rpm
2 optical drives, a cd reader and a cd reader/burner.
Thats pretty much everything that uses up a lot of power (cept motherboard)
Masterjohnny, i really dont have a lot of cash, im on a tight budget.
None.
If you don't buy a quality power supply, your system will be unstable. btw, if you don't want to deal with rebates, here's a 300 watt power supply that is good:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194023Also, have you checked whether your system takes a standard size power supply or not? Sometimes they use smaller size ones. If you do need one of those smaller ones, here's one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103507It is also still above what you said you need, at 270 watts.
None.
Doesnt dell modify their power supplys? if so, please remember that this is a Dell Dimension 2400.
Would this be any good?:

None.
The power supply i chose is cheaper with the rebate
and plz remember i own a dell dimension 2400 (the power supply i picked isnt on newegg any though
) (all atx will work with a dell 2400)
your ebay power supply doesnt mention efficiency or the brand name?
stick with my antec earthwatts
(good efficiency comes a long way in your power bill)

The brand is sort of seen in the picture of it, says "enlight" or something like that.
Just saw this:
High standard of quality with FCC, UL, CSA, CE, TUV, SEMKO, NEMKO, FIMKO, DEMKO, and CB certification. Model# HPC-300-101
EDIT: Will that power supply work with the dell?

None.
If you can find a UL number on your powersupply, this can help you.
http://www.jonnyguru.com/SMPS_UL.htmEnlight is pretty decent though.
OH, I see what's going on.
That's an.. okay power supply, I guess.
It's suited more for old systems like yours, so yeah..
None.
My opinion is no because i could not find the efficiency..plus the ebay says its used so..yeah..a failing power supply can kill your comp

you shouldve responded earlier. I alredy bought it. Ill just test the volatages using a tester before pluging it in.
None.
