Can I ...

use a 250 Power Supply for an AMD Thunderbird 1.2ghz proccessor? Or do I have to buy a 300W one?

What are the advantages or disadvantages of having either of those.?

I've got an T-bird 1ghz and I'm using a 250 watt supply so Im sure you'd be ok.

Hey thanks..! I'm looking into a few cases here in the internet but it seems that I'm out of luck because some retailers do not ship outside the US and if they do, shipping is like 300 to 50 dollars.. Is that possible.. darnn..!! Puerto Rico is almost a state for crying out loud... well, almost..!

Anyway, does anyone recommend a good case for my future setup:

AMD Thunderbird 1.2
Gigabyte 7ZX-1 m/b
256 PC133 RAM
1 WD20GB hd
1 cd rom
1 dvd/cdrw combo drive
Sound blaster live value
pci modem
Voodoo 3 2000

Thanks for your input.!

As long it's on the AMD approved list, and you don't run a lot of extra stuff, you should be ok.

I figure that I'm pushing the limit of my 300W supply with 900T-bird, 2 WD ATA100 HD's, DVDROM, CDRW, Radeon LE (overclocked), and 8 cooling fans. That will be fixed when I go to water cooling & 2 300W PS (one for cooling system).
