Hey, thanks.
It's just that it's difficult to find a cheap but also reliable casing with
a good power supply of higher quality. I decided to play it safe and invest
a bit more and buy a brand casing with 300W.
Because usually you can't find the -real- specs of a power supply of what
performance it offers at which current and so on.
I don't want to make a big deal of it, it's not for production but I don't
want to save money in the wrong place.

the rating for the powersupply is the peak load it can handle not how much
it will actually draw, a 300watt powersupply with a shouldn't draw any more
than a 250 under the same load...
that being said amd hasn't certifed any powersupply rated under 300watts
for the 1.3ghz athlons...
