Built a system for a friend, using a BestBuy Dynex mid-tower ATX case w/350W PSU.
BIOSTAR P4M900 S478 mobo, P4 2.8C, onboard video, one HD, one DVD burner. I overclocked the CPU to 3.2Ghz.
PSU has 10A and 13A on the two 12V rails. I don't know what the TDP/wattage is for those older P4 CPUs. Hopefully there is enough extra juice in the PSU to add a Geforce 6600 512MB DDR2 PCI-E graphics card in the future.
Seems to be running ok thus far, although once the HD spun-down unexpectedly during Windows XP installation. I wonder if that could signal power issues that were on the edge. Although the CPU was at 2.8Ghz when I did the installation.
