Here's what I got:

800MhZ Duron
FIC AZ11
256MB PC133
WD 40GB 7200RPM
Teac 540E
HP 9150 CDRW
Geforce2 MX
Santa Cruz sound card
Inwin S500 w/ 250W Powerman PSU

I haven't assembled the system yet, but want to make sure that this PSU is sufficient. Any thoughts?

I think you should be ok,my friend has a 250w powerman PSU on a classic 650 Athlon with same amount of hardware as you plus extra cooling fans etc.

Should be OK-ish I think.

Though I tend to go 300W minimum on my systems to make them more "upgrade proof" :).

Probably be alright but I would start saving up for a new one. You can get a really good one for around $60.
