power supply for 1800/1900xt HELP!!!

I'm running a 3.4Ghz Prescott 650 and i wanted to know what the minimum power supply i should have/get if i wish to run a 1800 or 1900XT, I guess the PCI to Molex cable will be bundled in?

:( Just had a nasty thought.. Know i know why dell are not liked.. I had a look at my case (in more detail than had before obviously) it seems the extra cooling slot for the fan and heatsink thats needed for 1800XT's will not fit as i don't have one!!

So i guess i'll have to cancel/change my order argh! Looks like i'll have to get a more expensive Nvidia or a 1600XT..

Anyone confirm this for me??

Sorry i'm crap dealing with hand eye cordination/perception of things lol

From looking at the images of the 1800XT i thought the Heatsink/Fan would be where my current x600 is and there therefore would be no PCIX slot below.. if you get what i'm saying

As my case does not have a PCI case opening left of the heat sink (above in the images..) so the "Exhaust" would have no where to go?

Yup totally.

It's got a very strange cooling solution and if you were to want to change it in any way it's a new case new motherboard as it's part of both.
 
Ah well seems OcUk are a bit quick in sending out the card (even though i asked to cancel it an hour after ordering) so i have to refund it through distance selling (???) anyone have a idea if they charge for this type of refund etc??
