not bad...but keep in mind your going to want a minimum of 400 watt power supply.

I hope a 400w will fit in the little box....
Actually I really like the whole system...alot.
Great article and review: .

What will having a 400W power supply do over a 220W?

Trying to run all that you described on 220 watts would probably cause the power supply to overheat and cause crashing or worse. Make sure the 400 watt will fit the Shuttle.

i searched for some 400W's on Froogle and found them for 10 bucks, would they be reliable, if they fit?

Sounds a little cheap. You got the link?
