If you are not doing that much with your desktop a huge power supply is not needed, however for people who use their computer for more than basic things, you will simply need a Motherboard input a Cdrom power cable and a Hard drive cable and you will be fine.

Why increase the power supply on a desktop computer?

Generally you want to increase the capacity of the power supply (rated in watts) if you want to add more components to the computer which require substantial amounts of power, such as graphics cards. You may also in some circumstances find that the computer has an under-specified power supply installed when it is sold/built and so it will need to be upgraded just to be able to power the existing components.An under-rated power supply will manifest itself through system instability (randomly resetting or turning off when you do something that places a load on the system).


Where does the hard drive receives its power?

It depends on the form factor of the disk itself. If it's a 2.5" laptop hard disk that runs off of (E)IDE (about 40-44 pins you'll see when disconnected) then usually it will be powered straight from the IDE bus. If it's SATA or (E)IDE on any other form factor (SATA 2.5" laptop/3.5" desktop or IDE 3.5" desktop disks) then they'll need a dedicated 5/12V power supply that usually can be provided by a computer's power supply unit or via a special power brick (if you're using a SATA/IDE to USB interface).
