I'm building a new comp over the summer, but I'm gonna add the 300 = to this comp, and just re-do everything once I get a new mobo and case.

I'm planning on quad-booting. Or even more.

40 GB's of Windows X= P (I am a gamer. Some games I just cannot get to work under Linux)
60 GB= 's of SuSE (I have an old pro version.)
80 GB's of Gentoo 2006.0 (yay!)
20 GB's of Shared Files (Music, and whatever needs to be shared)
the= n the rest will be unpartitioned, mainly for trying out some BSD's and othe= r distro's. to be partitioned as appropriate.

That's my game plan so= far. It's subject to change easily.

Again, I've had trouble locating a PSU that will fit in the case. T= his is worse then getting a Dell.

For my next comp, I'm obviously bu= ilding my own (I got this for free in 2001). In a very, very large tower ca= se. I'll probably then stick this current 40GB HD in here and use the comp = as a household server running BSD/Linux and hosting LAN game servers and GN= UMP3d, and whatever I see fit.

no, p4 need a lot of current, and big gpu's. But for mo= st people a GOOD 360W
PSU will work fine.

The watt printed on the= package does not say anything about the quality of the
PSU or its maxim= um 'combined' output. So if you tell him to buy a 400W PSU is
like telling someone to buy a '2000ccm (2 Liter) car'. There are lots o= f cars
with 2liter engines. And a lot of them are crap ;)
