Ati X1900 Xt-x

Very soon I will probably be buying a new system to replace my laptop for gaming.
Im looking at something like a Shuttle or another SFF case (Silverstone Sugo or X Qpack) so it will be easy for me to cart around to LAN's etc.

The only problem is I'd like to get the new ATI X1900 XT-X, now in the shuttle there is only a 350 Watt PSU, in games the ATI will consume at most 300 Watts, will the shuttle be able to handle this as well as the other components while gaming or would it be better going with another SFF case that can accomidate a normal ATX PSU?

Wait for a X1900 that use external power. I'd expect Asus (was it?) to bring in such a version (as they did for the GTX)

Take it from me though - it won't be a quiet SFF PC :o

No I wasn't planning on it being quiet. If I'm getting the Sugo I'll be buying a few more fans for the case, 2 in the sides and one on top.
The idea is having fresh air blown on the CPU and GPU and then having the fan on the top as another exhaust fan.

Believe no way the X1900 can use up that much wattage, on a single card.

Well in most of the benchmark ive been looking at it says it runs at about 200-250 idle and at most around 300W in games.
