Well, I didn't expect this to spark such lively debate. I was just blowing off a little steam.

It worked out in the end as I was having a hard time admitting that my 386 was well past its prime. The new PC is blingingly fast (for browsing that is) and stupid cheap. I just need to do something now to make it stop sounding like a 767 on takeoff. I've found a couple of quiet 300w power supplies one of which should take care of that.
