Yes, I thought so, but non of the cases offered have more than 300w.

I have since decided to play safe and buy a system from Dell or Mesh, you can still configure it but they build the basic system for you. I cannot afford to take chances because we are pensioners and I am really going beyond my budget for a new computer and this one will have to last me.

I might even drop the whole idea because it is only because my MCSE course seems to require something better than I have here because of the labs we have to do at home between classes because the course is so compressed there is not enough time to do everything in class and I have to have XP Pro and something capable of running Server 2003. I might even just drop the course because it is beginning to involve me in expense and stress and I have a sick and disabled husband and a sick cat who need me. I had to leave class early this week because I could not stand being in a room with 20 people elbow to elbow and so little room that we have to balance our heavy books on our laps as we do the labs. I kept losing my place and ended up not knowing what we
were supposed to be doing, now I have lost interest.

However, many thanks for all the comments everyone and for pointing out things I missed through lack of experience and or knowledge. I really think I am safer with a ready built system.
