Thanks.

The PSU was an ebay bargain for £40. Have used a few of these PSUs and they are really silent and run very cool.

Have to say after running Ubuntu for a few days (I have tried it under Virtual PC before but only to play around) it really is a top OS, and with the GUI and included software delivery / package manager not difficult to pick up. I remember at Uni studying Unix and it was a really "beardy" system. Ubuntu is nothing like that and in many cases is easier than Windows, especially Vista. e.g. I have had to install not one third party driver, they all worked out of the box.
