Well, we had three HD failures, then the power source died. Since then we've been told that because we are on dial up and using a modem, use the DVD player a lot ( computer sound system is better than our TV ), that we needed a larger capacity power source.
The one that failed has a max output of 280 watts if I'm reading it correctly. Then we need to test the last allegedly failed HD with the larger power source to see if it will boot up. If not we have a new one that we haven't used yet.

After that we need to test most of it's systems.

The local computer fixit guys charge an arm and a leg and never seem to figure out a permanent fix.
