Which case to buy?

[Virus]

I'm partial to Antec. Solid, quiet and as spacious as the best motor home money can buy. I was thinking of the sx830 or sx840. One's a 300 watt and the other 400. The 400 is the only one on the AMD recommended site, however the 300 watt was there when the 1.4 T-Birds came out. Ananadtech did a PS article a year agao and the Antec was the only ps to pass the torture tests on AMD systems. Even PC Powere and Cooling PS's didn't pass the tests and they are easily 3 times the price. Is the 300 enough for the XP and DDR motherboards?

The 300W will easily cope. I am using the 400W with my dual XP1800 system, 1Gb RAM, 4xHD's, 3xCDROMs, SCSI card, Fastrack100 RAID card, Geforce 3, SBLive 5.1, etc, etc (basically fully loaded).


For what you need, the 300W will suffice.
