As a computer science student, I'm required to have a removable hdd. I hate the darn thing, but I installed it. However, the casing I have isn't adequate. To make a long story short, it couldn't take all three of the caddy, burner, and dvd-rom, because the bottom one was blocked by a motherboard component (ain't that silly?)
So, I'm looking for a new casing, a big, tall one. I'm getting worried about power supply. Here's what I have right now, which works fine with a 250 W power supply:
A7V MoBo (Asus)
Duron 600
DVD-ROM (Panasonic)
CD Burner (HP)
3D Prophet II MX
SB Live! Value
2 hdd's (both fix, until the recent change), IDE, 7200 rpm (Western Digital)
56K Modem
Ethernet Card
Only 1 fan, the one on the power supply module (not counting the one on the processor...)
Keyboard, etc.
I basically want to change a few things. I'd switch to an Athlon 1300 (that's the max I can take with this MoBo, right?), and add a second fan, because of that Athlon.
The big question: would my old 250 W power supply be enough?
Thanks for taking the time to read all this,
