Yes there is no case, i need ocuk to stock the v300. Yes there is no gfx card, sorting that out later.

Stumped on a PSU, a 7300gt doesnt even need to be connected to the psu as far as i know.

A 500w will do right?

Looks fine mate. You should be ok with a 350w psu for that. If you need a case have a look at the antec range with built in PSUs

Antec Aria is a nice case

But but the v300... I want it badly, very smart case.

Thanks for the replys dudes.

Should have loads next week.

Highly recommend you order at the end of the week as soon as the stock comes in.

They will be gone within a day if I have the right feeling.

Friday? Oh yea yewen, on the v300... That floppy drive is said to hold back some gfx cards, a 7300gt will be fine?

How about that psu? Mother is always moaning about saving power.

A power supply will only draw as much power as is needed. So a 500W PSU on the same System shouldn't use any more power than a 400W. For saving electricity, you should look at the efficiency rating, the higher it is the less power it will use.
I have the Akasa 400W Paxpower, it's a good power supply & should be plenty unless you choose a stupidly powerful graphics card, like an x1900xtx or something.
The FSP Greenpower interests me because of it's very high efficiency, don't know if OCUK stock them.
