Straight up research the product you want. A 300 watt powersupply is more than enough for simple mame cabinet. Go with a 400 watt enermax if you really want more power( AAAAHH AAAHHH AAAHHHH tim allen). But whatever you do....look on www.pricewatch.com for the absolute best prices anywhere on the net. you can get a barebones 1.3 ghz athlon for less than 400....
: I plan on building an Athlon 800 with a Shuttle AI61 mainboard, a Leadtek Geforce2 MX DHpro w/TV-out, 128 MB RAM, and a basic soundblaster card. My question is what size power supply will I need? I can't find anything on the web to clue me in on this, does anyone know of a site that can help me?
: On a side note, anyone here ever order PC parts from Tiger-direct? I am planning on getting the Athlon/MB combo from there, has anyone had any experience with them?
