Take a chance on 300W Supply ?
Lilwolf:
AMD's DO require more juice then intels.
you can't go wrong highter...but you can the other way around.
but a 300 will do fine... until you add a bunch of extra hardware / video cards which take extra connections... but you will be pushing it.

Anyone know an easy way to measure power usage so you know when it's time to upgrade? I have a couple of boxes (one is in my cabinet) that seem fine, but I don't really know how hard I'm pushing them.

http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ Use that to help you determine what kind of power supply you need. It seems to be pretty reliable, though I can't guarantee anything.
Oh, and sorry I haven't posted for a while. The cab had to be put back burner for some time, but perhaps now I'll be able to finally get to it.
