I'm in the market for a new GPU, but can't seem to find one too easily.
What would a good card for AGP that doesn't require anything more than a 250w psu? I'm running a Dell dimension 4500, and not sure how easy (possible) it would be to pull out the psu and throw a new one in.

Yes, yes, I know its time for a whole new comp, but buying a car takes priority, otherwise I would be at the local computer shop placing an order for them to build me a nice rig. (including a threat that if I find any OEM in it I come back and...)

lets see you could get a 7800 AGP model, or for much cheaper a 6800.... Now to take psu out just unplug everything, Unscrew, slide it out, slide new in, screw it in, plug everything back in

If you are running on a Dell, they might not take too kindly to a new PSU being put in.  It depends how big your case is and if the new power supply will fit in there.  

Its a fairly large case, so I think that it might fit.
However, if it doesn't, I'll jury-rig something to make it work.

Read it, if it says ATX, and looks like it just unscrews and slides out, do it..... I can rewire a pc in my sleep

It doesn't say ATX on it anywhere, but dimensions are 5 1/2"x 3 3/8" x 6", held in place by two bolts on opposite corners of the psu.

Seems like an ATX, Hiper type R PSU is a good one (580 watts max 630) for $89.99 on newegg if you are in US...
