Maybe 750 watts at least to be on the safe side. It doesn't hurt to have more wattage than you need. It's not going to specifically "waste" energy...

    How to delete extension jhfhkgkmljpbkafmkljgfmaokgcaiiee forever?

    There are also a lot of bootable anti virus disk downloads where the anti virus runs from the cd / memory to scan your hard drives. AVG and Avast both have a downloaded anti virus that runs from the cd if I recall. I don't really mess with windows servers.

    mouse or trackball or both?

    One of the things that completely solved my wrist pain was NOT using the home row and keeping my hands at a more natural for my arms 45 degree'ish angle to the keyboard instead of trying to force my arms/hands/wrists to that 90 degree angle to the keyboard that everyone seems to say is the...
