answer to a computer user

Not a good idea because the ratings (wattage) will likely not be sufficient to cover the newer computers' power requirements.

I used to have old computers that would work if I reassembled them, and the PS would have something like a rating of 200w.

My computer now needs more like 300w and IT is an older model as well...800Mhz Celeron, one 10g HD a CDROM and a CDRW.

My next one will have all this and more and thus will have a higher power requirement.
