Shuttle PSU help needed.

It will work fine, get a 250W one, they are quieter as well as more powerful. Try the popular auction house, as a few people upgrading to the 300W ones might have a few to sell.
I upgraded my shuttle (see sig) that way.

both the 250 and 300watt psu's will work nicely in your system. its just the 220 and 240watt ones tha tmay not fit as their a slightly different height and layed out differently (one bigger fan on the side rather than 2 smaller fans on each end
This may be a bit off topic or unrelated but...
I have a Shuttle SN25P for about a year now, ever since I got it the PSU sometimes sounds like a cricket.
Anyways, a few months ago one of my HDDs supposedly died, sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldn't. I eventually sent it off to Seagate for an RMA and they sent me a repaired unit which seems just as noisy and when I connected it it froze my pc when trying to format it. Eventually though it started working fine and I transferred my backed up files to it, however it then "turned off" during a defragmentation with PerfectDisk and I am recalling what a buddy of mine was saying about the problem.
Could it be the PSU? if there is too little power coming to the HDD it would die? How would I figure that out anyways and what do I do about it?
My system specs:
Shuttle SN25P, AMD x2 3800+, 2x1GB Corsair Value Select, nVIDIA 7800GTX (XFX eXtreme edition), 1x Seagate 250GB 7200.10 and 1x Seagate 500GB 7200.9 (the one that broke down, started making noises and would eventually stop booting), Samsung 163SA SATA dvd-rw.
Thanks for the help, do I need to buy a new PSU now? heh
Edit: I woke up today after leaving it to defrag overnight and it showed me that it turned off and windows didn't see it any more. Anyhow I couldn't boot windows any more it would just freeze. I unplugged the media connector and SATA dvd-rw and now I am in safe mode copying files BACK to the working HDD. What I can't understand is, if it's a power issue why is it only affecting the 500GB, is it because of their tolerances for various power voltages?

Check your harddrives are not over heating.....I put my shuttle sn26p under my desk once and my top harddrive went up to 75cSaltank said:
in no time(max HDD recommended temps are normally around 50c to 55c...Use this tool for checking your HDD temps http://www.majorgeeks.com/HD_Tune_d4130.html
