Case and Power Supply Recomendations

[Athalonxp1800gu]

Hello I was just wondering since im building my first computer which case and power supply I should use. I plan on using an Amd Athalon XP1800 and the 817LR (pc chips) motherboard. Probably upgrade to a volcano fan, Ati Radeon 7000 graphic card...and probably just a pci128 sound card (onboard sound isn't that great right?) and the usual dvd and cdrw drives, and the 3.5 inch floppy and internal 250mb zip drive. Any helps greatly appreciated. Thanks

I cant recommend any case , there's so many out there and we dont know your budget.

As for power supply dont touch anything under 300 watts,
if you intend to make any upgrades from your usuall stuff I would recomend looking for 400 watts..

Hope it helps a lil bit.

i agree, it all depends upon your price range.

i agree with the 2nd point also, get at least a 400 watt PS. depending on how much hardware you'll have in your system, that extra power would definitely help.

I'd go with Chieftech/Antec also. I use those cases in almost every computer I build anymore.
