That didn't work (swapped out a 370 W PSU, swapped in about the same
from a box that did boot properly).  I guess it's probably worth trying
a slightly more powerful one as a last resort, but if that doesn't work,
can anyone recommend a supplier in Sheffield that can sell me a standard
tower box with no HDD but otherwise loaded, and with quick delivery?
