Antec Minuet 300 Black/Silver Steel / Plastic MicroATX Slim Case Computer Case 300W ATX12V Power Supply

GIGABYTE GA-945GM-S2 LGA 775 Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor

Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model

SCEPTRE X7G-NagaVI Black 17" 8ms LCD Monitor

My main question is about the power supply, I really do want this case and setup and want to make sure 300 watts is enough, I will probably be throwing in an old x300se and a soundblasters audigy se as well. I want the smaller case to put on the desk so I can keep cables away from my daughter, who is 1 y/o.

Other than that, what so you guys think?

This computer is for my wife, for general useage, I plan on taking drives and HD's out of old comp.

Total for this is about 670.00 and I wouldn't want to spend much more than this.

Why would you need 2GB for general computer usage? I'm assuming you meant internet, email, etc.

a better PSU is quite necessary for this build. i suggest the link below, unless youre planning on having SATA300 in the system

So you're saying that a SATA2 HDD would drain considerable more power than a SATA1 or IDE? :rolleyes:
 
Will it fit?

I am also considering a larger case with a better psu. 2 Gigs will be necessary if you want a fast computer with vista. IMO anyways. Thank you all for the input.
 
It would, I liked the fact that it would fit nicely on my desk, I think I may have to go a different route. Appreciate the comments.
