Case for new system

I had posted a query about building a new system about a week ago and several people were very helpful. I need some help deciding if I need a 300W PS for following config
Duron 650 or 700
drives: 1 hdd, 1 fdd, 1cdrom, 1 cdrw

the problem is i find several retailers selling mid tower cases with 250w ps but v few with 300w ps. if you think i need a 300w ps, where will i find a good case/ps combo for that?
thanks
 
mwave.com has an enlight case w/300W PS for $62 + shipping, it's in their top 10 sellers. although with what you are running a 250W PS would probably do fine.
 
These are the two online stores I go to if I need case and power supply: peachpc.com and directron.com
 
Thank you all. I guess I would also like to know if I shd buy a 300w ps in the first place for the set up i described.
 
Get a high quality power supply 250W+ Don't tempt fate with a generic brand PS. I would go with a 300W, especially if you forsee adding more hard drives or upgrading your processor at some point.

Mark.
 
It was nice that DainBrammage posted a link for you but those cases on that website look like total POS's. I hate to say it but they do. Not to mention the Antec case is one ugly ass case. It isn't a bad case just ugly as sin! There are some really nice cases here. I picked up the black mid-tower hydraulic, this thing is stylish as hell! It's the same case alienware uses for their systems. Also, the Fongkai FK-320 is a beautiful case, they sell it there as well. Get yourself a nice quiet 300w power supply. Buying a case from the website i've listed above should ensure that.

get the Antec SX1030B - black full tower...sweet...everything from clip removable internal drive bays, to plenty of rooms for tooless fan mounting inside....comes w/ 2 80mm fans too (i'm sure they're 80mm, but perhaps not)...and a 300watt psu (or more if u want)...

there's also a non-black (ivory) version...

Check out the Mid-tower case and power supplies at the following link:http://www.pcpowercooling.com/

The mid tower case is solid as a rock. For and extra five bucks you can add a hard drive hanger to the center of the case. They also sell sliencer power supplies that only put out around 34 dbl. Most power supplies are so loud its like sitting next to a running refrigerator. Great spec.

I have ordered two of their cases and power supplies. Good company.

Check out AMD for a list of their recommend power supplies, also.

 
Check out colorcase.com. Top quality, classy looking cases in many styles, with your choice of power supply. Power suppliers are AMD approved. Some styles have front USB ports which are hard to find. They add new styles from time to time and have some of the best looking cases I've yet to see. They even ship the case double boxed so even when it gets tossed around, no damage is done. As I recall, you can also get a 15% discount if you agree to be on their customer list. I have one of their cases and would highly recommend them.
