PSU wattage ???
Have trawled through site after site, tried several different "wattage calculators" that give wildly different figures, seemingly because they want you to click on a "buy a psu here" link !!

Anyhooo! ...can someone give me a more accurate idea for watts, for ordinary desktop midi-tower innards as follows. (I know that if one goes too "cheap" one could end up with a 250watt psu badged as a 500watt etc. so I'll probably buy and ANTEC.),
...and I most likely will want to add an IDE pci card and another IDE hd, at a later date.

ATX Conroe865PE motherboard with Realtek LAN and sound on it.
Pentium D925 (2x3ghz - 2x2mb L2 cache)
3 sticks of DDR400
Nvidia 6200 AGP card
pci - Creative SB Audigy 2
pci - Intel K56 flex. data/fax/voice modem, (I think that's still in there!)
2 x 7200 IDE hd's
1 x floppy drive
4 x 80mm fans
1 x dvd r/w drive
1 x cd r/w drive
Occasionally, I plug in my old Canoscan N650OU scanner (UBS powered),

...and of course, some extra capacity but, not too much !!!

TIA, regards,

Richard
