New (old) build - advice to complete

[lmartinefc]

Hi all...I have almost finished my new (old) build. I was *luckily* able to find a dual tualatin board that supports DDR and AGP4x...wasn't an easy find. Specs are as follows :

> Aopen Fortress 7700 dual tualatin board *NEW*
> 2gb Crucial Ballistix DDR500
> XFX 7950 GT AGP graphics card (might upgrade to 4670 AGP)
> Custom socket 370 coolers

Everything is now set to go...except I do not have a power supply! I read that these old tuallies (and all older gen processors) do not run off the 12v rail, and rely on a good 5v rail. With that in mind I need to find a good modular, 80%+ power supply with great voltage regulation. Any ideas for this type of slightly older board?

Also I wanted to get some expert advice on storage. I have 3 options :

1. Use a new Western Digital 160gb IDE Ultra drive that I have already purchased
2. Install SCSI (it has 2 SCSI 160 ports on board)
3. Install a PCI SATA controller and hook up a spare Intel SSD I have sat in my draw

I will be installing windows 7 to run a few benchmarks, but will probably revert it to an XP build and use it as my coding machine

Any input welcome

Thanks

No....no suggestions for a power supply at all!? Or storage...?
