More Information

I'm looking for the best MicroATX slim case and power supply combination for the following gear.

GIGABYTE GA-965GM-S2 LGA 775 Intel G965 Express Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Leadtek PX7600GS TDH LP GeForce 7600GS PCI Express x16 Low Profile Video Card
Intel Pentium D 915 Presler 2.8GHz
A-DATA 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 SDRAM
2 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
1 x Lite-On 8X DVD DL IDE Burner

and the usual cooling fans, USB headset, USB web cam.

I'm open to options on the case and power supply but it does need to be a slim case. I've had my eye on the Antec Minuet 300, really because it's one of the beefer PSU I've found. The problem is per my swag at power draw:

Video: 120W
CPU: 95W
Mem: 15W
HDD: 15W each (two in system)
DVD: 25W
Misc: 15W

TOTAL: 300W

I don't mind buying a PSU, but I need to find one that will work in this system and a MicroATX slim case. Your help, directions, and thoughts are appreciated.
