Just lost my power supply for my main desktop. Its a 3 year old home built job with an original 350W supply that came with the case.

I have old scrap heaps in my house with 250W and 150W supplies and Im wondering if I could get away with just plugging one of those in. I would prefer not to have to ante up the 100 bucks for an entirely new one.

Any advice appreciated!

Its one of those socket 939 cpus the AMD 64 single core with 2 gigs of ram and i think a low-mid end ATI graphics card 256 mb or something. one optical drive, 2 hard drives.
