>>what determines the amount of power supply needed?<< The number of components that are installed inside your computer. Harddrives CD ROM , Dual CPU's (PII's draw a lot, hence the heat sink etc. It is also important to have a quality stable supply. If the correct voltage is not supplied to some components they will run hot. Many low cost power supplies may not provide quality juice. The power supply should last several generations of computers (depending on how long the ATX spec lives??) and it is probably worth the investment for a better quality power supply. I have not spent much time yet investigating power supplies. My decision is influenced by what is available at the outfit that puts the base machine together. Regards Zeuspaul pcpowercooling.com
