and have some performance. A Replacement for my MacMini PPC.

The Barebones PC from ShuttlePC comes with a 250 Watt Power Supply is that enough power for the Core2Duo and a PCI

Express Graphics Card.

Somone told me that they computer fried becuase that had a low power supply and recomend that I put in a 350 watt or 400 watt Do I have to worry about that ?

The only reason why I like this Barebones kit is that I can put a Graphics Card in it.

 

The Graphic card I want to put in is this

http://www.amazon.com/XFX-PVT84GUDD3-GeForce-8600GTS-Express/dp/B000P9TO76/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1202074773&sr=8-1

 

Price $149 GeForce 8600GTS Direct X 10 ready.

 

So the total will be around $581 including the graphics card.

 

I hope that of I set this all up when I do buy these things everything works out of the box like the sound, firewire, etc.

 

Software won't be a problem to get. Ilife, iwork etc.

 

So what do you guys think ?

 

For Leopard I'll use EFI Patch Vanilla Kernel

I'll use this tutorial

Use this PC to Dual Boot between Windows XP and OSX86.
