Thank you for evaluating this for me!

Well, that is both good news AND bad news!

Do I really have to worry about that power supply not being a very good one? Can't I just use it until it dies? If it dies on me can it fry my mother board in the process or does it just fail at some point?

I already found out that I am going to have to buy a new XP install disk and install a fresh version of the operating system and then re-install my applications again. This is all starting to seem like it will never end. Before all this I was trying to upgrade a Dell Dimension 4100 and bought things for that. After spending some time and money on that I decided the machine wasn't worth upgrading. So I have already been doing these kinds of things for a while longer than I want. I will give the Dell to a friend so it is not a complete loss, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere towards having my own computer.

Sorry if I am babbling and complaining... I'm just sleep deprived and tired and a little discouraged today.

But I am glad you think the PSU and video card will work in this thing.
