I haev ordered a new duron 900 + mobo + more ram - the case is a good MIDI tower - With a 300W supply.

Being anxious to get my order - well damn it excited! (i have a k6-2 500mhz) - Ive been writing stuff on paper - planning stuff to do - and ive discovered that i will end up with another spare 250W PSU - Could i somehow stick it my case? To run fans when i add them (ive got my hands on a beast of fan - 200mm!!!! - So I want to know if i can fit it in - is it a good idea? Should i cut a hole for it to go below/side of the existing PSU?

Please help me here - anybody whos done this before with a midi tower - would be appreciated :)

Thanks again guys :)

The second power supply is a good idea if you are going to be adding lots of extra fans. With out seeing the case i'm not sure if you would have room for the second psu.

200mm fan !!!!, where are you going to mound that, I had fun adding two 120's. Let us know how that thing performs, and how noisy it is.:D
