Thanks to those who commented....
 - the PSU is uprated to 600 W now
 
and I have one (hopefully last) question re the video card

The supplier has suggested the X800 GT graphics card (a ATI Radeon based
card)
instead of the nVidia card mentioned below.

Comments welcome

cheers

Subject: Hardware selection for comment.

Comments requested from people who may have used / broken the 
following components.
I'm looking for items like unwanted interactions, driver probs, etc.

>From looking at the 5.4 hardware page 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html 
the general selection seems to be
supported, but I have mental question marks against the graphics card
and the response time of the monitor (I intend to use KDE and Xorg, am
not
interested in flashy games / video, but do want sharp, full colour
resolution)
There seem to be grumbles from some linux forums re the 6600 locking up 
occasionally...?
