But the cost with even the 235w Silencer (do you think thats enough power?) is right there with a SM sc750a full tower-renowned for cooling/ventilation capabilities.

I think 235 watts is enough for your setup....just guessing. The best thing to do is add up the power ratings of the individual components....CPU, harddrives, tape, CDROM, fans...

Good luck finding specs on power supplies. PCPnC is one of the few that makes them readily available. From the ESC site esctechsite.com The power supply is one of the more important components of a computer system. Failing or poorly designed power supplies may be the cause of random errors. The 12 Vdc line can be so far out of specification that it should always be checked during normal troubleshooting procedures.

Networm had a lot of good things to say about the SC750A case.

Power Supply specs

It is probably safe to assume that PCPnC's comparison is representative of the power supplies that you find in the common cases. Scroll down to Q4.
