Is This Enough Power???

[Playmaker]

I am building a new system and would like to get the charcoal black Antec SX1030B case. It only comes with the 300W Antec PSU, however, and there is no SX1040B. I was wondering if you think this would be enough power for a 1gig T-Bird @ 1.33gig, a 40gig IBM HD, DVD-ROM drive, 12x10x32 CDRW, Sound Card, 512mb PC2100, and all the other common stuff. Or do I need to get a different PSU for it? Also, will the Palomino require more or less power? Thanks in advance.

Should be more than enough.

SCOTTY, WE NEED MORE POWER!!!

Yea, 300W is plenty and that is what I have. Look at my rig, and I've got power to spare.

I'v been running a 1.33ghz T-Bird on the same 300watt PSU that the SX1030 comes with for months now, and before that it was a 1.2ghz T-Bird. I just orderd my Jet Black Antec SX1030.

"will the Palomino require more or less power?"

Less heat is what AMD was going for, in terms of more or less power i would say lower, but not by much because of all the new features of the core.

Just for your info, I emailed Antec asking about the possibility of a 1040B, and I was told that while it is not posted on the site, they will sell them. Try giving them a call if for some reason you feel that you really need 400W.
