Cheap Case/PSU for Prescott?

I'm building a system for my mom, and so far it's looking like this: P4 530 (3 GHz), Abit AS8, Powercolor ATI Radeon 9200 card, NEC 16x DVD-RW, WD 80gb 7200 rpm SATA, Corsair Value RAM PC-3200 512MBx2.

No overclocking, no big games, no RAID. The IDE drive from the other computer will probably be hooked up for awhile. She'll mostly lose money gambling online, email/web, burn an occasional CD, do Office stuff, and mess around with digital camera pix. The PC will likely be on 24/7 though.

It'll need a case/psu and since I'm getting everything else at newegg.com I'll probably get the case from there too. The 350W Antecs seems to sell well on there. I've seen +12V output listed at 16A and 21A for their SL350 PSU. Anyone know if these have enough juice for the Prescott?

My P4 550 has been running on a crappy dell 350W PSU and Ive got more HD's and a power hungry video card. I own a few Antec PSU's and they are extremely nice. I wouldnt think youll run into any trouble with your configuration running on a 350W from antec.

Yeah, you would be able to run that on a 350w antec easily. I am running my 2.8 prescott @3.5ghz on a 350w enermax.
