Sup all, I keep forgetting to check back XD.
Now, I have a back-up Dell that runs pretty nice if anything should happen to my main build. It has a crappy 15" CRT though, so I am looking to upgrade.
Now here is where the problem comes into play. The Dell has a sturdy 250W PSU. Now I did the calculations on:

And I have got it coming to 247W out of 250W. Now that scares me because I do believe that LCD's use more than CRT's. Here is what I was thinking about upgrading to:

So really my question is, how much more power does an LCD use than a CRT?
