I used to use a 250W power supply with a 10/100 Linksys NIC, TNT2 Ultra, DVD, CDRW, SB PCI512 and two ATA66 20GB Western Digital Drives and never had a problem. Now I have a 300W power supply with my new case and the ABIT KA-7 board and I don't have any power problems either. BTW - there is no such thing as quality of power. If you are getting 250W, that is it - you have 250W.
