is there any media software that i could use with Ubuntu? just to save money on buying a windows licance

finally, would it be ok to use a 250w or less power supply?, i want to save power and not have to pay much to run it. i can underclock from 2.0GHz if that is needed

oh ok, if it comes with that then i may aswell use it, is it a standart ATX? if it is i have spares

will do that now, thanks for all the help. i like the case and 350w is perfectly enough. as for software and OS i will have to look into that.
thanks again
