I have two Q500s . . . both came with 300 W P/S's. That worked fine through Athlons up to about 800 MHz. But when I went to 1 GHz and a T-Bird at 1 GHz, I had to change. I replaced the 300 W from InWin with a 300 W Sparkle and have never had a problem since. I did that on both towers, and it has worked for me.

I have been using a Q-500 for over a year with a 1 gig and have had no problems whatsoever. Love the case, roomy, easy to keep cool. I was surprised that the power supply has held up so well so far. I have never had a problem with it and would buy another. Now with a 1.4 Athy I would get a better PS for it though, at least a 400 enermax or sparkle.
