Radeon 9700 Pro Power Requirement

[kurtmax_0]

I was considering building a computer using a Shuttle case (using components from one of my older computers). It would include an Athlon XP 2100+ and a Radeon 9700 Pro. My question is, does the 200W psu that comes with most shuttle cases (or at least the one that has a mobo for an axp) enough to handle the radeon 9700pro?

Welcome to the PC Guide forums!!

It might depend on which model of Shuttle XPC you get, but I've heard the included power supply is able to handle the higher end vid cards.

The only thing I would recommend then is to be careful about selecting your other components. Fortunately, because of the small size of those Shuttle systems, you can't put much into them in the first place, but I would still recommend you stick with a standard 7200rpm IDE hard drive, basic CD-RW drive, and no more than 1GB of RAM. And of course, no overclocking. ;)

K, thanks...

I just added up the power requirement of the stuff I would put into it, and it seems as if it will work..
