There is only one picture of the group which even show the PINS and
that picture is to small to see the details of the PINS.
At least for me it was..
 
Just toss it and get a decent power supply like a thermaltake, you will
be happier in the long run.

So you're saying spend $40~ on the case [or any case ] and buy a
separate power supply made by theramtake with 24 pin connector?
If so, can you suggest a box and which power supply would be any good?

thanks

The Codegen specifies 14A. on the +12V. rail, which could
be on the low side for many applications. I always buy my
cases locally since shipping costs kills the deal, and UPS can
be pretty rough.

Looks like the 20+4 convertible connector from here!

If you want to save a bit of money and get a case with a decent PSU then
your only real option is to buy an Antec case. The PSU's they include
are decent. Most PSU's these days support both 20/24pin. It should say
in the specs if it is 20 or 24 pin.

Yes it 'should' but when I do searches on newegg about 1/2 do not
mention the pin numbers. So when you search it's a big guess.
I had to take images of the cases and zoom in using paint to just see
the blurred lines made by the pins on the psu in each case, even then
it was hard to say what I was seeing.

The # of pins should be one of the options on newegg when searching
for a case IMHO..

Where I live, the only places that even sell cases in bestbuy and
there options/prices are not good. It is kinda laughable when I see
those prices bestbuy has for things 'in store'.

anyway..

Antec Sonata II. Lovely case, plenty of reliable power.

thanks but I am wanting to stay under $55 if possible, something close
anyway.

$55? Folks here are trying to enlighten you to the importance of a good PS.
You have potentially good system in the works but you are shortchanging in
the wrong area at this point. A decent PS will run you $40 minimum
initially.

I've had good results with two of these Thermaltakes below for $30 after the
$10 rebate.

It's the same here. One 'local' source I've had good luck with are
computer shows when they come to town.

There are lots of cases on Newegg in the sub $50 range (with and
without PSU) even with shipping. Just remember the cheaper ones are
likely to be on the flimsy side. That may or may not be a problem for
you. The other thing to remember is the PSU's will be flimsy as well,
take the advice offered above and spend a little extra now on a decent
PSU.

On the +12V

6800GS ~5A (has a PCIe aux power connector - minimal motherboard current)
(http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gpu-consumption2006_6.html)

3200+ Venice (67W/12V)*(1/0.90)=6.2A
(http://www.amdcompare.com)

Disk Drive ~2A spinup (first 20 seconds), 0.5A in desktop

Fans - allow 0.5A or so

DVD burner 1.5A on nameplate. Only with media in place.

Everything doesn't go worst case at the same time, and your
max might be ~13.2A with a game CD in the drive while you are
gaming. Getting pretty close to the Codegen's 14A output on
+12V. I would select a power supply, with enough current for
a couple more disk drives. (If you get an ATX 2.0+ power
supply, that has 12V1 and 12V2 outputs, the 12V2 is for
the processor alone, and the 12V1 powers everything else.)

Paul thanks for detailing the amps/volts for me. I see now where I
need to re-think the 'going cheap' idea.
