Shuttle XPC SN41G2 + PSU....Hello?

[TheCorm]

I was just looking at the Shuttle XPC SN41G2 Barebones system with interest....I noticed that it has a 200W Power Supply and I was thinking....hello, that's not much.

But PC Pro (UK) managed to shove in the following spec for benchmarking and testing and it worked fine....

- AMD Athlon XP 2700+
- 2x 256MB Samsung PC2700 SDRAM
- Geforce Ti4600 Graphics Card
- 60gb Seagate Baracuda ATA IV Hard Drive

All based around the included nFirce2 GT based motherboard....

So whats up? I am confused about power supply requirements now....I remember people insisting that 300W was almost a minimum for an Athlon 1ghz PC!
