Depends on what you are doing with it. Outside of the CPU, the most current

course a high powered graphics accelerator will draw a lot of power, but I
assume that doesn't apply here. Lots of memory will be negligible also.
I used to have a 233MHZ pentium, so-so graphics card,  2 five and 1/4 inch
hard drives, 1-floppy and a CDROM on a 220Watt supply.
