Okay.. I'm gettin` a new PC:
athlon 2000+, epox nForce2,radeon 9500 pro..
I was wondering if 300W will be enough.. I saw this Compucase super midi towers with 300W, which were most afordable I could get, but if it's not good for the system, what is? Please help me..

300W should be enough. But it is borderline officialy. But in my expreiance ratings can be bent most of the time. I say if it is WAY cheaper than anything else then you can go for it. Worst you do is you need to replace the power supply with a 350watter which is an option you were considering anyway.

Which case? According to <A HREF="http://www.compucasecorp.com/case.htm" target="_new">this</A> site, there are four super midi tower cases. They <i>look</i> OK.
They all seem to have 1.0mm thick steel in them (as opposed to 0.8mm that most cheap ones have). They've got a couple of point for cooling fans, and there are a few <A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=compucase+review&btnG=Google+Search" target="_new">reviews</A> on the web (based on the black version of the 6919 series) that say that it's similar in design to Antec cases. The few pictures that I saw didn't go into detail but it looks like it'd be OK to work on.
The power supply may be a bit ordinary though, the HEC-300AR-T power supply (spec sheet <A HREF="http://www.compucasecorp.com/power/hec-ar-t_1.htm" target="_new">here</A> ) shown in the reviews I skimmed through seemed to only have a combined output rating of 180Watts. If you could get this case on it's own and buy your own PSU, you'd be on to something good IMO.
