Tweaking Performance and/or Upgrades

I wouldn't touch them to run a lightbulb....

The best idea is to watch newegg, and you can get great psus for incredibly cheap; with discounts.

The problem with those are the volts and amps are bad... 500W and 32Aish is bad.... At 500W I'd expect more Amps

Something like this: Newegg.com - OCZ StealthXstream II OCZ500SXS2 500W ATX12V v2.2/ EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
and with all discounts, its 10 bucks more, and awhole lot better.

Tigerdirect is an ok place, but stick with newegg.ca, cheaper, and a far, far, larger selection of actual computer parts.

Tigerdirect seems to be better when it comes to finding odds and ends.

Actually, they are an American based company if I remember right, Newegg used to be exclusive to the states, but a few years ago opened a canadian site and ships to canada now.

Ah youre Canadain... Also theres NCIX.com Its outa BC and Markhem as well now.

So look at Newegg.ca - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! or
NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection. Usually ncix is better on shiping, and faster. Newegg ships out of the US and takes a longer time.
