    power supply

    I'm buying a Pentium 4 2.53ghz, PNY GeForce4 TI4600 ddr 128mb agp, the motherboard is Asus P4T533-C, Westent Digital 60GB Hard disk, cd-rw, Creative labs sound blaster live pci dolby digital 5.1, etc, etc, etc and I don't know what power supply I should use. Could anyone give me a hint please. The power supply must fit into this case http://www.directron.com/directron/amx01bd.html
    Thank you

    Enermax is a brand that I have had good luck with and they seem to do very well in the reviews.

    What ever you get just make sure that it is P4 approves. You may want to get something with a tad more juice than a 300w, if you ever want to add alot of toys.

    I was looking at this website http://www.alienware.com/main/system.../area51-t9.asp and they have a system that looks like with the one I want to build. They use a 340w power supply. What do you think?

    The power supply looks great, hehe. There is another thread somewhere around on this site about two days old that goes on forever about AlienWare.

    A 350w enermax or an antec will do, if you have the money might as well go for a 400w, for extras later on otherwise 350 will do nicely, they all fit anyway just make sure as mentioned that it has an intel plug.
    HOCKEY RULES!

    I just bought that PSU - sl400 by Antec, very quiet, very cool.
    It is a standard sized ATX psu which will fit any normal case. I could not swear those cases you are looking at are standard but I am 99.999% sure. Just buy it.

    Yes, the power supply will fit in that case. Standard sized power supply in a case that holds standard sized power supplies.

    I'd recommend buying a power supply from the site below:

    http://www.pcpowercooling.com

    IMHO they make the best and the most stable power supplies (TurboCool Models). I've bought one 3 years back, still going strong no problems at all! They are manufactured in the USA and have quite a very solid reputation as far as building power supplies is concerned! I would not hesitate to recommend them because they have proven to me that they build quality stuff!
