Dale,
The output of power supply in my Show Machine is 300w. I found a chart at Newegg that rated each component in the computer. Using the highest ratings it looks like I should have a power supply with an output of at least 500w.
130w - Processor
60w - Motherboard
30w - 2gb of RAM (not yet but it will be tomorrow
)
150w - Video Card
30w - Three PCI cards (Tow sound cards and one Raid card)
60w - Two Hard Drives
30w - CD/DVD Burnner
490w - TOTAL
Time to hunt for the deal!
Jim
