I just bought a new computer with a 300W power supply on a full tower case. The 19" monitor has its own individual power plug which I can use. But there's also the option of drawing the power from the computer's 300W power supply. Will my computer power supply be able to supply enough power to this 19" monitor if it has the following parts in it ?

Athlon TB 1.2 Ghz
Asus A7V
256 MB RAM
45GB HDD
16x DVD ROM
8x4x4 CDRW
1.44MB FDD
32MB GeForce 2 MX card
Creative SB Live! Value
Two (2) network cards.
Keyboard & Mouse both using PS/2 ports
Canon Scanner (the very thin and light one)

Thanks

Its a straight bypass, so if you want to its ok, but use a seperate cord if you can

Why use up the CPU's power if it can supply it on it's own?

I think you'd be better off using its own power cord.
