i'm assuming you mean this low profile card [here]

gonna need this 6-pin molex adapter [here]

TFX power supplys only go up to 300w currently
[here] & [here]

exactly what I was looking for.

now last request, I need some quieter fans. The oem ones are too loud

any suggestions

Also, will this let me run a blu ray drive, 2 hard drives and the video card?

...I need some quieter fans...

for quieter fans check out newegg's page for case fans, and take notice of the decibel ratings. you definitely need airflow if you game on 9800GT in that small case. consider replacing your PSU internal fans, CPU fans, case fans...

MOD IT ALL!

w/ a 300 watt power supply you are just cutting it, as long as you don't overclock the cpu or gpu...

looking at those TFX power supply connectors... if your bd-drive & hdd's are sata, it looks like you are gonna need alotta molex-to-sata power adapters. do you really want to fill up your computer with adapters?

in my case for example, the loudest thing are my sata 3.5" 7200rpm drives (driving me nuts) i need get 2.5" inch'ers!

MOD IT ALL -or- GO FULL ATX TOWER
