I have a PC164LX in an Antec KS280B mid-tower I picked up from Antec for a song. It has a 300w power supply, which has been more than adequate to power the Alpha, a full 1G RAM, two 10,000RPM SCSI drives, a Symbios SYM22902 SCSI card, an ATI Radeon 9100 128M, an ISA SB ViBRA16 and a CD-ROM drive. In short, any ATX power supply 300w and above worth two shakes should work fine. Thanks, Josh
