The power supply shouldn't be a problem.  Apple lists the QS and the 
QS2002 both at:
"Maximum continuous power: 360W"
(ref. 
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/Power_Mac_G4_Quicksilver.html 
and 
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/Power_Mac_G4_Quicksilver_2002.html )

We Love Macs shows the QS and QS2002 both using power supply p/ns
