well it can't be more then the 9700 pro right? you should be ok with a 420w PSU... thats what i got and i'm running 3 harddrives, 2 cd/dvd-rw's and all my addon cards (ie sound) plus the video card. i read that some people had PSU and radeon 9700 problems with PSU's with wattages 350 or under (and that doesn't include 5 other drives) so i would go with 400+ just to be safe.

yea some people had problems. and i think the guy i remember originaly who had the PSU issue was using 300w.
i chose to do 420 becuase it seemed reasonable and i will have plenty wattage for upgrades.

That's a negative. I sign a waiver and junk when I get free chips. In theory they could take them back if we needed to look at something.

And no I couldn't do it in secret. Sure I could probably get away with it, but A) It's stealing and B) if I got caught, I'd be fired.

I'd like to add that I probably have over 3,000 units in my cube and in my cabinets. MWAHAHAHAHAH!

Too bad none of them are cut and wouldn't be useful to anyone anyway.
