the min is 300 watts  each
Power Supply is Enermax its 485 Watts
I want 500+watts  at the time my supplier told me that was ample enough and.
I did not want to wait <G.
Hard Drives  Sata 200 gigs 7200 RPMS
I bought an Antec  large tower
Memory OCZ dual channel kit  2 gig- it will take 4 -

I built mine in March you will need to flash the bios
