ok, lemme get a list. what sizes do you want, the stats of the case seem to say you have two 80mm fans already installed, with room for three more, two of which can be 92mm. so, what do you want.

and what kind of noise you want, loud w/ good cooling, or quiet with less cooling.

a 250W? with a 7900GT? sure, it will POWER it, but will it operate like a 7900GT? no.

it might operate like a 6600 or something, but you need more power if you want to get the power of a 7900GT.

P.S. get a Fortron 400W, its $40, will last a long time, and either way, it just makes youre computer better, so why skimp out on a PSU? thats what keeps youre computer running!
 
yhe i kno, but there were reviews with a 7800-less efficient, which scored well in 3d mark 05-like 9000 or something./

This is just the old parts, I maxed out everything hoping to get an equivelant of what your setup (3800, 6800XT and all USB devices plugged in) should add up to. And of course, I got 300+

Note that PSUs run at 70% most of the time and devices sometimes take more than 100% of their required wattage when under stress.

In simple terms, your forum is full of noobs. If you can prove me by showing that 250 can efficently power your setup under full stress, then please email me and I will apologize to everyone on that forum for calling them a noob.

edit: Proven again here:http://www.schrockinnovations.com/powercalc.php

Lets just say Shuttle PSUs run at 100% efficency 24/7 (impossible unless you live in Antarctica and your computer is outside), that is still 13W under the MINIMUM requirement. Lets just say all the wattage are overrated from the companies. You still only have a 5-10W margin, this is definately too low for that kind of equipment!
