Decision time between Shuttle's SN41GSV3 or Biostars IDEQ200N?

[Cytomax]

This computer will NOT be overclocked and is intended solely on the purpose of gaming. My BIGGEST concern is really the PSU on these 2 units.. Biostar's IDEQ200N has a 200 Watt PSU and Shuttle's SN41GSV3 has a 250 Watt PSU.

I originally wanted the 200N because they got such great reviews on newegg but i dont think the 200Watt PSU will be able to cope with such a great demand in power. The following is what is going to enter the system what do you guys think?

XP-2500
2 X 256 Megs of DDR 400
ATI 9800 Pro
Audigy 2
2 PATA Hard Drives
1 PATA DVD Drive

This is what i know from reading and reviews..

Biostar's IDEQ200N
- Biostar's IDEQ200N has a 5 star rating out of 94 in Newegg
- Biostar's IDEQ200N is better than Shuttle's SN41GS Version 1 in performance (according to a review)
- Biostar's IDEQ200N is quieter than Shuttle's SN41GS Version 1 (Dont know about Version 3)
- Biostar's IDEQ200N is cheaper by about $50
- Biostar's IDEQ200N has the PCI slot in between the AGP and the Outside of the Case so you can use a non stock cooler but then you lose the PCI slot

Shuttle's SN41GSV3
- Shuttle's SN41GSV3 has a 3 star rating out of 22 votes
- Shuttle's SN41GSV3 has a 250 Watt PSU compared to Biostar's IDEQ200N 200 Watt
- Shuttle's SN41GSV3 has the AGP slot on the outside so a video card will not interfere with the PCI slot in case you want to use it The down side is that you cant use anything bigger than a stock cooler because it will interfere with the case
- Not much else is known simply because there are no reviews

BTW If you guys know of an even better Barebones system out there that can support the XP-2500 (I already have the XP-2500) please let me know.

Does anyone know if either of these comes with a built in handle?

If anyone has any advice on how to build a custom one better and cheaper im all ears...

Thanks in Advance

Why not get a shuttle sn45g. Runs nicely and later versions have the 250w psu. I wouldn't worry too much aboutthe wattage on a sff as the amount of stuff you can run off one is immense. My sn45g has the 250w psu and currently houses an overclocked xpm2500 and a 6800gt!

Thanks for the reply but newegg doesnt sell those..i would really prefer this off newegg but just incase could you please provide me with a link on where to get the sn45g.

The shuttle 200w PSU's were capable of taking a 9800pro, hard disk (maybe two) and an optical drive. Seeing as the X800 uses less power than the 9800 you should be ok, can't say much about nVidia since i lack experience there.

You'll need 250w if you opt for an Radeon AIW.
