Guess what, the shuttle only has a 160watt PS.
But you have to remember how people rate watts.
You will probably find that your more lekely to blow a no-name brand 400w PS than a good quality 250w PS. The manufacturur tells the consumer what the power rating is, nobody tests them, just places like tomshardware.com, pcmagazine, etc.
The Power gets used up by Fancy inteface cards, lots of older harddrives, but you are right, a good video card and a 3Ghtz should probably use up all of the 160watts this thing has.
My supplier has another brand with a built in handle, and it has a PS that looks identical to the shuttle's, but is rated 250w.
So you be the judge.
I know for a fact that people blow PS's and they have to be replaced, but its not usually from loading it up too much, but from defective(cheap) hardware.
Oh, and have you seen those neet 3 color led clear chassis fans?
