Is this PSU okay for an Athlon XP?

Newegg has this case and PSU...the case looks pretty sweet, but I'm not sure about the PSU...they're out of stock of cases w/o power supplies, so it'd be convienent if this one's sufficient since I don't have a use for this one if I replace it with a Sparkle or something. Viewing the pictures, it's made by Enhance, who has some supplies on AMD's approved list, but I can't tell which model number it is. Anyone know?

Well, I really think you should just shell out $20 more for a nice Enlight case with a Enlight 340W power supply that is recommended by AMD for up to XP1900+.

Well, according to this approved PSU list @ AMD.com, that 300W PSU from Enhance Electronics is approved for all XP CPU's from the 1500+ to the 1900+. So yes, it should be fine. 🙂

Enhance PS's are great! I have an Enhance 150W SFX PS running a Duron 600 server. 🙂

I usually get Enlights, but I'm interested in this case because it has 10 drive bays (6 3.5 bays)...since I've got a live drive, burner, dvd-rom, a floppy, and 3 hard drives, I'm TOTALLY out of space in my enlight...I want to add a couple more hard drives (it's a server) eventually, and just happened upon this case while shopping for parts for a system I'm building someone else. Thought I'd give it a whirl.

I saw that, as it says in my original post, but I'm not sure if the one pictured in the case is the same model. The one listed on AMD's site and that Newegg sells seperately is model #ENP-0730, but looking at the picture of the case and blowing it up/modifying it, the power supply seems to have a model number to the extent of ATX-1125*** (can't read it very well and my photoshop skills are lacking). I really wanna give this case a shot, because the only other midtower I've seen with that many drive bays was an Aluminum case that ran close to $200...unfortunately they're out of the cases w/o PSU, so I guess I could just eat the $20 and buy a better PSU and have that one lying around, but $20 is a lot to a poor college student. So...if someone knows if this is the same model that AMD approved that'd be helpful. Thanks again.

Hey, here we go...

Enhance

For once in my life I was right...it is a different model, the ATX-1125BTA. which is not listed on AMD's approved list...so I guess that means I should use a different PSU, huh? Oh well, maybe someone with the same question will read this post and thus it won't be a total waste of everyone's time. Thanks for the replies guys. 🙂
