I have a Pentium 2.4 CPU/Mobo combo sitting around and an emptycase with a 250w PSU in it. Now I know that's one weak PSU, but I was wondering if I only had the motherboard, cpu, ram one hard drive, one dvd drive and video card, if that would be ok.

Probably a recipe for disaster.
 
eeh, get a cheap, but decent 350 watter from a local store, invest the 40 dollars
 
It's a "Deep Electronic Company" PSU...I think I'll go buy an Antec or X-Clio instead.
 
It may be borderline and I assume it's a OEM computer. I see 3.2 P4 computers with small PSU like yours.

Best bet would be to upgrade to a beefier one but before doing this, can you give the specs of the computer since some use some custom form factor.
 
It's a

Via P4PB Mainboard
P4 2.4B Northwood
Corsair 2x512 DDR RAM
80GB ATA100 HD
DVD-ROM
Probably a radeon 7500-9800

I just noticed the PSU doesn't even have the 4-pin power connector so it's not happening with this one. Would it have been safe afterall?
