As I am building a whole new computer as well as taking the CD writer, DVD drive and 1 of the hard disks I was wondering about this Enermax case. At £70 it seems a bargin. I will be having a 120Gb ATA133 7200rpm hard disk which I plan to put inside a hard drive cooler unit, also have 40Gb ATA100 5400rpm which will be left out in the open. Also will be fitting 2 rear 80mm fans, 1 front 80mm fan as well as an 80mm fan in the roof(it has got a roof grill hasnt it?) and of course the side 80mm fan. With 5 fans as well as 2 hard drives(one in a cooler unit) and a CD writer and DVD drive will the 350 watt PSU be able to cope? As I will be having a XP2800 Barton as well as 2x512 DDR400 and a nice Radeon 9800 Pro which needs to be hooked up to the PSU. So with all this will the 350 watt PSU cope? I really would like this case as it has enough space for all the drives I need, has fan space for some nice cooling, and its cheap.
Also another question does the cathode light take up much power or generate too much heat? Also is it easy to remove if you dont actually want to use it?
Thanks for any advice, as I really want to make sure that the 350 watt PSU will cope with what I will be having. Hopefully I will be getting all the system parts in a few weeks.

Try and find a review or someone else using the same supply before you buy - it's not only the wattage of the PSU, but how well it manages to hold it's voltage lines (+3.3, +5, +12, vcore etc). You will find that the more you spend, the better the quality of the power supply, and the more steady these lines are, but remember that stability doesn't just depend on the watts.
Indeed, I would fork out for a 450W. The more money you spend, the more stable/quieter your PSU will be. All those devices and particularly the CPU, memory and gfx card will suck juice like it's going out of fashion.
u may need to gat a 400w+ powersupply
