New power supply arrived today! And for once the package didn't get left out in the rain! 
Unlike the other two Targus adapters I tried, this one works fine.

So you bought the 'official' power adapter from HP?

My Jinx bumper sticker arrived today. I don't have a car to put it on, so...
They also sent me a generic "J!NX" skull-logo sticker along with it for free. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet.

With your RICH, quiet Antec TriCool fans? My case fan was a cheap $4.95 one and is way too noisy. And don't get me started on how loud either of the desktop power supplies are.
WOW! Rich! A PC capable of running Resident Evil 4 and Need for Speed Underground! Remember, integrated graphics -> LAG.
And an expensive 22" LCD monitor! Geez, the best I have is a 17" CRT with a ghosting problem that I paid a grand total of $0.00 for.

New PC today! Well, it's not so new, but I got it for $2.50 at a local CompUSA that's closing a few hours from now. Another 500MHz P3, except this one has 128MB of memory and a TNT graphics card. I don't know if the sound and LAN cards work yet.
Currently it's a mess - it'll boot Memtest86+ alright, so I know the CPU and RAM are workable. The only drive it has is a floppy drive, so I'll need to buy a hard drive and CD drive at some point in the future.
Also, the power supply fan is very loud - loud enough I sure wouldn't be able to sleep through it, so this rules out using it as a server.
While I was there I also got a PS/2 keyboard for 99 cents.

You can either cover up the computer or get a new Power Supply Unit.

Yeah, that'd be true, if it weren't for...
