Anyone tried AbitKT7+Duron with a 235W power supply?

I've got an Inwin case with Powerman 235w power supply which is not on AMD's 'approved' list. I've heard the KT7 is pretty power-steady, but I might go with a 440BX or VIA 133A board instead of buying a new case or P.S. Anyone's experience with this would be a help - thanks in advance!

That's a great PS. I use to own an INWIN case. Took out the PowerMan PS when I sold the case and just put it in the closet collecting dust. I just got a Duron600 and overclocks to 950Mhz using the Powerman with my fully loaded system with no problems. I really like the PS cuz they use a 92mm fans instead of your standard 80mm fans.

Thanks, Paldo! That's just what I needed to hear - you saved me some $$!

I got A7V with TBird 800 on a 150W PS. Plus I installed a 12x Plextor writer, a 6x DVD drive, a 8.2Gb HD, a 30Gb HD, and a floppy. Never had any problem with power. So i think 135W would also work, unless you got more hardware than i got.
