I read on the net that these cards (9500 or 9500 Pro) take a fairly decent
power supply to run them. I was wondering if anyone was running one in a SFF
PC ?

I have an eCube CF-S968L Pentium4 (2.4GHz 533FSB) and wanted to beef up the
video for games.
 
I think it says 350w PS is the minimum. I had to go up to a 400w to get mine
to work with the games I play. It all depends on your setup. Hard
drives...etc that you have in your computer.

The very first thing you should do is ditch that anaemic power supply and
put a real one in. You are lucky that computer even runs on so little power,
it won't be wble to handle a real video card.

Enermax, Thermaltake, PC Power & Cooling, and many other companies make
excellent replacement PS'es, get at the very least a 350W one.

Do you even know what a SFF is? It stands for Small Form Factor - it is a
small cube like box of a PC. It is a proprietary 220w power supply , so a
standard "Enermax, Thermaltake, PC Power" supply wont fit.

And yes, my ATX and even mATX Pc's have 350's or better dual fan units.
