1. Move
2. Mail order
3. 250W is OK for a small system with a single drive, less than a Xeon
CPU and 2 GB RAM and a fanless video card. If you have a DVD burner you
might want a 300W so you have some power cushioning under heavy load.
Worst Buy will likely have a power supply. Radio Shack is my last choice
for real PC hardware.
