Something I know Gateways are known for, as I had 3 of them... (1 still in use)

They came with the lowest rated power supply rated to power the machine and
the power supplies are cheep. Of the 4, I had to replace 2 of them...

What complicates things for you is if you wanted to put in an external
video adapter, that might require more power than the p/s you have is
capable of delivering.

Think power supply, newegg sells them and has a wide selection.. I keep a
spare one on the shelf for this reason, a 500watt one..

 WC> It has PCI, USB2 and PCIe16 as well as onboard intel video

Well the intel video wont or shouldnt give you fits.. :-)

 WC> Did I mention this cost me $20 dollars?
 WC> Mid tower and micro-ATX


Not bad.
