Here is the shuttle I plan on building very soon:
Shuttle Barebones Socket A
250WPSU
AMD Athlon xp 2500+ MOBILE
1gb Pc3200 Corsair RAM
ATI Radeon x800 Pro
160GB WD HD
Lite ON 16x DVD Drive


Will the 250W PSU be able to power all of this? My main concern is with the x800 pro as I'm not sure how much power it will drain.

I have an Aria case with a x800 VIVO flashed to a PE. This case uses a 350 Antec power supply. So far everything is good. I also have a 3.2P4, 74gig Raptor and 1gig of pc3200,Hercules sound card , and my water cooling pump uses the same psu.

I would say that you will be fine with that amount of power.

I'm running an almost identical system (6800gt instead of x800pro) on the old 200W supply, and it works great. You shouldn't have a problem

Good, now I can upgrade my x800 pro to a 6800 Ultra. :D /me prepares for the loud fan noise but better performance. :o
