I bought an Antec midtower w/t its 300watt power supply for $59. I will be running an Athlon XP 1600-1800 and a Visiontek 5864 250mhz AGP card. Is that power supply enough or should I return the case and get a different case/power supply?
Thanks,
Robert

What other components do you have?

If it's a "typical" system with those components, I think it would be minimally enough. But again, as posted above, it depends on the other components of your system - and I wouldn't recommend a 300w power supply for a system of this type anyway.

300 Watt should be enough.

There are a number a symptoms - most commonly being system freezes and reboots on its own.
