    1. Intel IcH9 and Intel 633 Mother board and chipset
    2. Power Supply is 115-230 VAC Voltage Range, 300 watts
    3. Intel Core2 processor Q9400 (2.66Ghz 1333FSB) w/Quad Core Technology and 6MB cache
    4. 4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz
    5. 500GB Serial ATA II Hard Drive(7200RPM)
    6. 256MB Radeon HD 2600 XT or the Radeon HD 4850 512MB DDR3 PCIe or possibly one better if it will take it.

    How do I go about changing a power supply. Is it very difficult? Thanks for any help.

    Actually, it's not hard at all. Here's a link that will help you get started. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/362 The good part about this article is it has pictures. It's pretty straight forward and you shouldn't have any problems. As with anything you do with a 'puter..."take your time and don't rush it!!" Less mistakes that way;)

    If you have a digital camera, take a picture before you remove the old power supply just to be sure that when the new one is connected, you have everything powered.
