    Need help with building a shuttle

    Hi all,

    I am currently looking at buying a barebone shuttle system. I do have one problem though, that is the power supply. I am looking to build the following:

    AMD 64 3500+
    ATI x800 Pro
    2x512 pc400 ram
    100 gig hard drive


    Now, I can find plenty of shuttle barebones, but they either have a 240 or 250 powersupply. The shuttles that have a 350 supply only offer PCI express, and I already have my AGP video card. I really do not think with my video card and 2 512 sticks of ram, 240 watts is going to be enough. Any help with this would be great, thanks in advance.

    250W PSU will be fine for that setup.

    Have no fears over the psu.....

    My spec below is not too dissimilar to your own, and it runs perfectly every time I hit the switch.......so don't worry about it, its well up to the job.
