[geeks] Need Advice

[Ido Dubrawsky]

Aaaaaarrrrggggghhhh...I missed that one. It works now.  Still, I suspect 
I'll put a new power supply in there because I'm concerned that the 300W 
one will be insufficient to drive all the devices that I'll have in the 
system.

Thanks for the help and I'd still like advice regarding whether I should 
put in a Seasonic or a ThermalTake power supply.
