>>>Or is it really as easy as pulling a few cables and replacing the power supply?

It costs about fifty bucks for the local computer hardware genius to do it for me. I'm lucky to have found this guy's store. Possibly a good measure of someones work quality is by how busy their shop is. This guy consistently has clients at his counter all day long.

My wife's computer is a year old and I'm taking it down to the guy who built it for me so he can swap out the power supply. After experiencing the silence of the 750 Watt PC Power & Cooling PSU in my own computer, it's worth it to upgrade hers to a 450 watter that's energy efficient and quiet.
