I am building a whitebox server for home use (number crunching mainly). The
only components in this server are:

Asus P5M2 motherboard with onboard VGA
1 * Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (E6320)
4 * 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 RAM
1 * Maxtor 40GB SATA-II HDD (STM340211AS)
1 * Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit NIC
1 * DVD rom

So there is not going to be a graphics board and there's only one HDD. Can
I get away with a 450W PSU in here?


Lets put it this way I`m running this;

Core 2 Duo e6420 @ 3ghz
4GB Crucial PC5300C5
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
BFG 8800GTS 320mb OC Edition
500GB Samsung SATA II
Sony IDE DVD Rom drive

On a 480W PSU that came in a dabsvalue case that cost £ 27 I am "getting
away with it" so to speak i.e I haven't paid a fortune for the PSU and the
system works fine.


No it doesn't, it keeps dropping punctuation marks :-)
