The hiper 350 watt would be plenty for your needs.

I have the soprano. Not sure what you mean about the breakage, it's fine.
Just a little usb thing on the top.

I wish i got the tsunami though, but forgot to ask to change my order after taking it back because novatech gave me one without a window!

broke the clip on a tsunami within hours of buying the case :( I know exactly what he's talking about. Worst thing was I was actually building the system for a friend...

Antec 300, my brother has one and it is silent, easy to install and relatively cheap
