    basically shuttle PSU's are almost as good as any 480w normal PSU.

    It will run fine.

    and to ease your mind slightly my mate has the following running perfectly stable on a 30-odd pound 360w Thermaltake PSU (antec internals)

    A64 3200 @ 2.5ghz
    1gb RAM
    6800GT @ Ultra
    2 x 80gb 7200rpm Samsung HDD
    Usual refinements

    ok well shmee is my friend and he currently has a shuttle of some sort with an x850 platinum, 400 gig hdd and 2 gigs of ram, now his computer is kinda **** and he says its due to the psu which is a 250w shuttle one bieng too low,
    i dont think so, i am counting on it bieng ****ty ram, i dont think he got a matched pair and its not dual channel.
    i manage to run my sn95g5 with a 300 gig hdd and 64 3500+, and a 6800gt just fine.

    who is right?

    What?

    Ur confusing! And just so you know, the X850 wouldn't fit in a Shuttle........ My current ram is Dual Channel, it's not kinda **** just might quit a game if I've been playing it for a few hours straight, but I don't often do that so it's not that much of a problem.

    Anyways, I think I sorted now, so thanks for the tips guys,

    Tagan 420 watt

    Hitachi 400GB 7200rpm
    WD 72GB 10000rpm

    And the usual DVD-RW, TV Card etc....

    But the question is how big a PSU do I need? Is a 350W Big enough? What should I cut down to make a 350W one suitable?

    Cheers for the advice!

    With your setup you should be able to get away with a Tagan 420 watt. Evesham are running their latest system on a dual 7800GTX off the 420 watt Tagan PSU!




    ******************************EDIT******************************

    hi Tagan - please would you post a link directly to Evesham's product page.

    the responsible thing for HEXUS to do is only to direct HEXUS readers to third party links which we have confidence in...

    cheers,

    PD

    On the evesham pages i can see a dual 7800GTX system but i dont see any reference to psus so you'll have to take Tagans word for it.

    What shuttle do you have?

    The 350w PSU in the SN25P is as good as 480-500w PSU becuase it has good amps on the rails and its sustainable. Don't be fooled by just the sheer w rating.

    QTech make 550w PSUs but sustainable load is prob only 300w because of poor electrics and cooling.

    People on SFFTech are happily running systems with 2 hdds, 7800GTX, 3700SD OCed or FX55s, 2GB RAM etc on the SN25Ps 350w PSU.
    .: Predator :.


    - Shuttle SN25P - A64 3700+ San Diego @ 2.7GHz - 1GB PQI Ultra DDR - X850XT - Asus DVD-ROM - 200GB Maxtor + 2*80GB SATAII -

    Indeed. A good quality 350W will absolutely be more than enough, providing it has enough ability on its 12V rails.

    Trusted Reviews have just recently reviewed two of Evesham's systems, which are powered by the Tagan. One of the system is using the latest Nvidia 7800GTX, based on a SLi setup http://www.trustedreviews.co.uk/arti...d=15&page=3404. The other system is a work station powering twin dual core opteron http://www.trustedreviews.co.uk/article.aspx?art=1585.

    NOTE BOTH SYSTEMS ARE USING THE TG420-U01 !!!

    I hope this helps.
