I'm the happy owner of a heavily modded Antec Aria - blow holes, sidefans, PSU-fan replacement and so on. It's based on a MSI Micro-ATX 939 motherboard, AMD 64-3200 (Clawhammer), 1 GB DDR-SDRAM, Liteon DVD-CD combo, a 160GB 7200 Maxtor disc, an external (USB2) Maxtor 250 GB disc and a Nvidia 6600GT card. The latter is the one I wish to replace, but I'm uncertain if I'm able to draw enough juice from the standard Antec 300W psu for this purpose? Seen people with a similar setup who uses a 7800GT card without problem. What are you guys advice - could I go down this road?

Cheers,
Svend

Will really depend on your 12V rail and its current

Hi' BassBomb

Thank's for the response. The PSU delivers 18A on +12V which is said to be quite good for a small PSU like the Arias. The issue is that the PSU is proprietary and has a special L-shape so it's impossible to replace with a regular ATX-psu. Well, how far could I go with this PSU when it comes to VGA cards?

Cheers,
Gool
