x1900Xt Power consumption?

^^ Some of us run shuttles though ;)

PSU wise there isnt much choice, 350watter in mine i am hoping will be good enough though, as stated above shuttle under rate their psu's.

well im hoping anyways.
 
Well, I have a 1900xt on the way, my powersupply is a antec smartpower 450w with a 17a rail and 15a rail. As I only have a single card, and I'm gonna use the proper pci-e power connector I'm hoping it should be fine, I also intend to stick it on its own rail as much as possible, and if they draw 11 amps I'd probably be fine to up to 4 drives on the same rail, so should be fine if it only has one hd on it :) I'm only planning to have 2 dvd drives, a sound card, and one or 2 hds as well, so its not like I'm going to go schiz on drives, and antec are known for reliable psus, so should be ok.
