Do I Really Need a 430 Power Supply???

[Adramelech]

The Alienware case I got already has a 360 Watt PS inside of it. I plan on using the NForce2 board XP 2400, Radeon 9700 Pro, HP DVD+RW, Yamaha CD-RW, DVD-ROM (reads all areas), WD 200 Gig SE HD, Zip 750 USB, SCanner, Printer... Or is my 360 Watt cool to use?

It depends on the specs. What is the maximum amperage that it can handle in each volt rail (+12V, +5V and +3V)?

unless your 360 is very good quality i would go for at least a 400w-purely because of the rad 9700 and all your ide devices.better safe than sorry.

no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]
