what are they???

 

[BIGJJS]

well the case is a black emachines thing and i've no idea how to find out what the power supply is, sorry.

well the case would be fine to keep but if unsure about the psu, i would play it safe and get a new one, although there are some cool cases on this site:
www.xcase.co.uk
and why would he need £140 graphics card if the most he'll be doing graphically wise is watching a film???!!

ok i just had a wee look and my PSU is a BESTEC ATX-300-12E

i would say upgrade your psu then, 300w aint much.
