Anyone running a 7800 or 7900 in an SFF?

I just ordered a new setup with a Shuttle SFF, Opteron 165, 7900 GT, and a 74 GB raptor hard drive. I want to be sure the tiny power supply can handle it all. I figure the video card draws the most power of any of the components. Anyone running one in an SFF?
 
I would think you'd be fine in the SN25P or SN26P. Or did you order an ST20G5? The power supply in it is only the 250 shuttle one, but I've never had any problems with and people have run 6800 GT's with it, so I don't see why a 7900 GT would be any different.

Yeah, I ordered the ST20G5. Hopefully it can handle all of those components.
 
After tomorrow I will be. Upgrading my Qpack from a 6800gt to an evga 7900GT CO.

It should be pretty sweet. The rest of my QPacks specs:

Biostar TForce
Opteron 150 overclocked to 2700
GSkill HS 2GB kit 2.5-3-3-6 at 225 MHz
7900GT

What's the power supply like?
 
I have a Silverstone ST52F with the short cables. The one that Falcon NW sells with their Fragbox DIY kit.

 
Have a SN25P with EVga 7800gt, been in operation for 5 months now with no problems. Card came clocked ar 470 & 1.10 from factory, so far has handled any game throw at it.
 
Wow. I got it working tonight.. what a huge pain in the ass. But damn does it look nice.

Could the optical drive mechanism be any worse? It took me a good 15 minutes to get it perfect.
 
i have an aspire x-qpack and a 7800GTOC, Opteron 165, 2 Raptors and a Audigy 2 and i took out the stupid stock power supply because the FPS Fortron Bluestorm 500 or 550w psu fits perfectly.
 
I just installed an XFX 7900 GT EXTREME in my SN25P.
Awsome very quiet compared to the x850xt that it replaced.

Pretty nice rig
 
thanks.

The 7900GT is installed. Drivers updated.

Fear is smooth as butter at 1280x960 with eye candy on.

 
Try to overclock that thing yet. I wonder if the PSU will affect it. Another thing to keep in mind is, dosent shuttle use the same psus for thare sli sff?
