That's some serious processing power you've got there, Tim! 
I found a site that gives an idea of how many Watts are being drained by what: http://www.pcpowercooling.com/maxpc/index_cases.htm
Looks like CPU, MOBO, RAM, HDD, CD-RW are the big takers.... Not many can run a functional computer without those.
According to the numbers on that site if I put everything I have here in the box it would (or potentially could) consume 441 Watts! ?All at once, or just when in use?
If I had used that 230 Watt it wouldn't have started a fire; it would have started a bonfire!
Tim:
I was afraid that Diablo might not be up to par, but it does have a huge fan on the inside of it and a mid-sized fan mounted on the outside. I'm still gonna leave the Video/Sound/and floppy out of the case for now. That should save me 25 Watts or so?! I don't play video games or anything, so that shouldn't be a big problem.
Thanks for all the replies... you guys may have saved me a few hundred bucks and a liveable domicile.... :P
