What are you planning on using in connection with this? How many hard drives? What kinda of perphials?

I have to admit even with those questions on a standard set up of 1 hd and a videocard,sound card , modem,floppy,cd-rom,cooling fan would make me very leery of using anything less than a 200 watt power supply. And if some of the perphials are high end or that AMD was being overclocked I would not leave the low pwr supply in. I just prefer to err on the side of caution and have something a little stronger than what I need than the bare minimum.
