Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has used an Antec 330w powersupply with the following components equal to or greater than - and if so...would the powersupply suffice:

Upgrading to--
AthlonXP 2400+
Crucial PC2700 DDR 256mb (x2)
ASUS A7N8X (will use onboard NIC & Sound)
VANTEC AeroFlow VA4-C7040 HS/F

Already have--
Maxtor 30GB 7200rpm
IBM 20GB 7200rpm
Geforce3 ti200
Sony 52x CDROM
Sony 48x.x.x CDRW

Appreciate any and all feedback...

You should prolly be ok w/ the Antec Powersupply even if ya upgrade, but if ya add more drives in the future I'd be thinking about upgrading then. Hope this helps...

Thanx...I'll probably run with that. So long as it can consistently give the watts needed I believe I'll be safe. If I were to upgrade I'd go Sparkle or another Antec. Thx again

That Antec should do fine. I'm using an Enhance 350W power supply (your 330 Antec is probably better) and it is powering my system just fine. I'm running:

Asus P4B533-E
P4 2.4b@3.06
512 Corsair XMS PC3200C2
ATI 9700 PRO
WD 800JB 80GB
IBM 75GXP 30GB
Kenwood 72x CDROM
Lite-On 32x12x40 CDRW
Floppy
Hercules Game Theater XP
Linksys NIC
Five case fans
Vantec Aeroflow
