Good luck! You know Toyotas were once very dependable too.
From: Here In Oregon on 7 Mar 2010 02:37 Your case and power supply had 8 reviews from MWAVE. 1st one. Strengths: for the price this is a vary good case i would have given it 5 stars but the power supply was a pain cause it didnt work. but i didnt really expect it to last vary long anyways with how cheap it was. other than that the case is definitely worth it with the price. the customer service was also vary good. i emailed them and withing 10 minutes got an email back about my power supply problems 2nd one. Weaknesses: The power supply was a little noisy. The other five were mediocre reviews at best.

Replace your nVidia card with a Radeon 4650 and it will consume even less power.

Good luck! You know Toyotas were once very > dependable too. I've had really good luck with the Antec earthwatt p/s's. 80+ efficiency. I've got 2 servers and an htpc running 24/7, and out of the 6 home systems I've replaced so far, I've had 1 snafu at home, 1 at work <I replaced about 30 at work with antec's>. Great support, rma'ed it quick, even paid for the shipping. A bit expensive <unless you find them on a newegg shell shocker deal>, but definitely worth it in my experience with them.
