If so, can you suggest a box and which power supply would be any

What exactly are you putting in there?


ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz
eVGA 256-P2-N391-AX Geforce 6800GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L080P0 80GB
1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM
and an older dvd burner

On the +12V

6800GS ~5A (has a PCIe aux power connector - minimal motherboard current)
(http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gpu-consumption2006_6.html)

3200+ Venice (67W/12V)*(1/0.90)=6.2A
(http://www.amdcompare.com)

Disk Drive ~2A spinup (first 20 seconds), 0.5A in desktop

Fans - allow 0.5A or so

DVD burner 1.5A on nameplate. Only with media in place.

Everything doesn't go worst case at the same time, and your
max might be ~13.2A with a game CD in the drive while you are
gaming. Getting pretty close to the Codegen's 14A output on
+12V. I would select a power supply, with enough current for
a couple more disk drives. (If you get an ATX 2.0+ power
supply, that has 12V1 and 12V2 outputs, the 12V2 is for
the processor alone, and the 12V1 powers everything else.)
