Greetings,

I recently purchased the Soltek EQ3801M (the one that anandtech favorably reviewed). I had intended to buy the EQ3801-300 (which is the same basic SFF but with a 300 watt PSU), but screwed up and only got the 250 PSU system. Since I have not been able to find the power consumption (in watts) of CPUs, or components, I'm freaking out a little.

Here's what I hope to put in it, will the 250 watt PSU suffice?:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR400 RAM (2 x 512 MB DIMMs)
ATi X800 XT All in Wonder with 256 MB RAM
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Pioneer DVR-108 16x DVD+/-RW
LiteOn 52XCDR/ 16XDVDROM combo drive
2 Western Digital 120 GB SE IDE HDs (which I intend to replace with Hitachi or Seagate SATA drives in the near future.)

Will the 250 watt PSU be enough for a non-overclocked system? If not, were the heck can I get a PSU that will supply enough power? I could really use some expert advise here.

Can someone at LEAST tell me where the heck I can find the power consumption of components to see if the 250 PSU will be enough? Thanks.

i have to say that, that is a lot of stuff for a littke box man, maybe you should consider a falcon fragbox with 500W PSU.

Try your system with half of your stuff at first, and then just keep adding?

good luck

Hmm, it is a lot of stuff but it may be able to handle it. You'd be surprised at the systems people have been stuffing 6800GTs into. I wouldn't be surprised if it does work.
