Power supply recommendation for P2

[cbmeeks]

I'm building a Pentium 2 machine to play DOS games.

 

I don't have the parts in front of me at the moment but it will basically be something like:

 

Pentium 2 (233 MHz I *IIRC*). Could be a little faster than this...can't remember the speed.

32-64 MB RAM

CD Burner (IDE)

Sound Blaster 16

Low end PCI (maybe AGP) video card. Nothing special.

3.5" Floppy drive

7200 RPM Hard drive

 

I'm wondering what power supply to get. It uses ATX but I don't want to spend much money if I don't have to. I'm running a modern Windows 10 machine now on a 750W supply. So I can't imagine I would need anything near that.

 

What size PSU would you guys recommend? I'm thinking around 400W.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Those machines ran fine on 250-300 watt supplies

 

I got an extra one from eBay (wanted the at supply got the atx for free) I will give up for the price of postage, but it smells of smoke (tobacco not electronic)

Thanks for the kind offer.

 

I appreciate it but I found a new one for just a little over $24.

 

Thanks for the information!
