Well this restores my faith: I actually have an older 400W PS sitting hanging around that I never used. An ATX12V 2.2 compatible. Works perfectly---tested it. So long as I can remember not to accidentally throw the mechanical on/off switch on the back by accident when I reach behind the machine.
Now I only need to get a video card that will:
1. work with Crazy Machines 2 (not easy----needs older Aegis Physx---not onboard card---and older openAL). And this might mean geforce only. Arrrrgh.
and
2. Is single slot. None of the geforces of any ability seem to be single slot. The Radeon HD 7750 seems to be a semi-thumper (according to passmark), but I'm unsure of the compatibility nightmares I might get. I'd rather spend $100 on a card I can potentially use later if I upgrade rather than a junk $60 card that will never make us happy.
(Though, nearly anything is better than the Geforce 6150 LE I got in there now......OYE....)
