I'm upgrading a lady's computer, and we need a new case that will fit in with her entertainment system(ATX-Desktop). And i found a Cooler Master Case, with a 300W power supply at Newegg http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-119-044&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE . Should 300W be good enough to power 1 dvd-rom, 1 old vid card, 1 floppy, AMD XP 2700, and a ECS KT600 chipset mobo and 512 of pc3200 ram. I also found a Antec case for a few more bucks, with a TRUEPOWER 380W http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-142&depa=0 but it had alot of bad reviews about cooling so i'gm afraid to buy it. Someday please help me out ;)
