If you have major drives like CD writer/ DVD , etc.., you might want to stick with at least 250watt or 300watt PSU. 300watter would insure feeding plenty of power and for the future. 230 might be do-able with low power consuming P3 chips, but depends what other stuff you have in the rest of your system.

I only have a 230W and I am starting to feel the strain from my cel600@1.01ghz with a load of fans and pci cards, soon as I have the dosh I thinking of getting a nice poweful enermax
