I would say its plenty big enough. I ran for many years a amd 2600+ box with
2xhdd's 3 optical drives, neon on the case a couple of fans, 1gb ram and a
couple of pci cards and i used a 350watt power supply for it
I had another athlon64 3000+ system with 6 sata drives and 3 pci cards 1gb ram
and two fans that used a 350watt power supply also
