Yes, that's the one. Thanks for your advice.

I'll try not to :) This is my first PC that I assembled myself back in
1997, her name was Mriya (Dream), she has Pentium 200 CPU (original one
was Pentium 75) and serial mouse. I used the box as firewall couple of
years ago, but then bought a wireless router, she got offended and
died... looks like the power supply is the first thing to replace.
