    Wow pirate4 thats a very old and basic PSU. I doubt youd even be able to buy one with those specs now :)

    Waymons recommendation is an excellent one - I recently purchased a corsair PSU and could not be happier with it.

    Will that work with a Nividia Geforce 200 graphics card?

    Are you positive this will work with my old machine?

    Earlier posts I have made show exactly what I'm working with.

    With my current psu it mounts by the top and two screws diagonally placed on the back. Is that going to be a problem?

    Only if they're in different places to those indicated in the photo. You don't have to use all the screw holes.
