CD/DVD? Or are you stealing one from your old system?

That RAM is pretty major stuff. That harddrive isn't too swift(I've had LOADS of problems with Maxtor) If I were you, I'd get another brand harddrive and maybe cheaper RAM. I mean with that RAM, you won't even be able to see the activity lights in the case :p

As for the power supply, I donno. My system only shows about 150watts with my 6800GT. However, with such a small computer, I'm not sure what you could use to replace it.

What about the cooling? It didnt see anything about cooling on the barebone so will I have to go buy some?

A question or two:
1. Whats the role of the machine? Windows MCE and XMS generally dont go hand in hand (that and the videocard)

Well I was at Fry's a couple days back and I was looking at an antec 350W for like $47. He said it would fit. But thats only if the one it comes with cant get the job done. Thanks for the PSU help Praetor, if you have any suggestions on cooling please tell me. Either than that I guess I could drill a hole on either side of the grill put some fans in abd yeah..(that little summarization is skipping the details and stuff)
