Yeah I'm picking up a Leadtek Winfast A250TD GeForce4 Ti4400, and I'd like to know how long it is, and what powersupply wattage should I be at for stable performance? Because I have a 350 and I'm wondering if it needs to be upgraded.

i imagine that would depend on the manufacturer, whether or not tv-out / dvi / or vivo is included, but its safe to say, all cards should be around that 8.5 give or take a little.

my enermax case came with a 350w power supply but that still wasnt enough
the PC was quite unstable often restarting. lol (probably because i have neon lights and lots of fans now also)so now i have a cheapo 550w power supply and everything is great. PSU reviewed here= http://www.bit-tech.net/review/123/ |

I have an Enermax 350 power supply with no problems in my system.
My Gainward TI4400 Vivo is extremely long yes, in fact it was cutting off some of the air flow from the front bottom fan, and I had to purchase a 5 1/4inch bay fan unit to bring the CPU temps back down to the levels I wanted. My friend recently purchased a cheapo TI4200 with only the 1 CRT connector, and I noticed his card was CONSIDERABLY shorter than mine. I'm not sure if that because he only had one connector, only had 64ram, or more likely because he didn't get Vivo. I'm just not sure.

I do however have several case mods, including multiple fans and cold cathode light that suck up power, but nonetheless I have no issues to report.
