are you wanting to know how many watts it can handle, or how many you are running off of it. a 300 watt psu will only give out 300 watts when that many watts are being used... thus, most of the time it'll probably be running @ 250 or something. you could probably figure a cd-rom/burner @ 50 watts/piece (when they are being used), all the fans in the case @ about 5 watts/ piece... the mobo/cpu/components maybe at 100 watts for an older cpu or 5000 with an athlon/p4 ;). a great way of estimating is to realize that the more parts of the computer that need fans on them, the higher the drain of the system.

I'm actually sick and high on cough medicine. I should also be studying/sleeping. What I'm smoking though, he'll never know.

*jumps out of shadows and sporks Kenazo to death*

EDIT: To figure out what we're talking about, you'll have to do dual seaches for both our names and read everything in chronological order.

now if only i could figure a way to use a barf bag, the life preserver vest, and that screaming kid in the seat next to me to construct some sort of weapon, i might be able to get rid of your sporkiness.
