I'm thinking of getting the sweet box case listed here. (http://www.directron.com/babycase.html)
I'm wanting to put in a K7VZM, a Gefore2 of some type, a floppy, a dvd, and perhaps a cd-rw. The cpu would be a duron, with an appropriate bit of cooling.
So, do you think that the included 120w microATX power supply will do it? Could it do more (better processor, video, and sound when I can afford it)? Just wondering

no you will need atleast a 300 watt psu
the 120w would be for a celly or a p
looks like a nice case though for a server or just a folding computer

Well...
I'm looking for something I can use at a LAN party...
Now I've seen OEM systems using 235w power supplies...
So... can anyone tell me where I can get higher voltage power supplies that will fit in this case? Standard ps won't fit...

The biggest MicroATX PSU's I've seen are about 200 watts, and they are quite expensive, upwards of the price of a normal 400 watter sometimes..
But I may be wrong on the max microATX PSU.
Good luck finding them too, quite hard to find.

get the yeong yang server case if you want something that looks cool, you can stick any size power supply you want in these things.

Well, the reason I'm looking at this case are 2 fold.
1. It's a cool looking case.
2. (most important) It's CHEAP!!!!!
now... it seems that I'll new to upgrade the power supply to get it to handle what it want...
Perhaps I should just grab a small Mid ATX case...
