will this powersupply be enough?

[onetrueday]

I'm building a computer for someone else. I have the 300watt power supply that came with my ability wholesale server tower. Previously, I had intended to put a duron800 in the computer. However, he seems very interested in having a 1.4 in there now.

The computer will also carry the wieght of the following:
40gig HD
512megs
semi decent cpu fan... not an overclocker
burner
cdrom
nic
2 80mm's
floppy.

I would strongly perfer not to buy another power supply, they are expensive. However, what are my real risks that the system will be unstable?

I personally have had problems with a 1.4ghz T-bird and my 300W AMD approved psu, but then again I have a alot of extra stuff in my box. I usually recommend 350W as the minimum, but you should be fine.

should be fine..
I have the same case as you do..
and I'm running the PSU that came with the case

I got 3 x 80mms
1x 40mm
HDD Cooler w/3 40's
and all the rest is "standard"
I have a 1.4 on an Abit KG7 non raid

it should work but remember it is always better to have more than less obviously. Also you may ant to ask this person if and how much hardware they may add in the future and take that into account. Besides power supplies are not that expensive.

300 should be plenty, if its a quality 300watter
