[lug] Question about new system

I am planning on building a new amd 64 machine.  Here are the specs:

AMD 64 3200
ASUS A8V Motherboard
1 gig memory
2 x 160 GB Hard drives
1 CDROM
Video Card without a Fan

My question is how big of a power supply will I need?  Others have recommended
a 400W power supply, but I am not sure if I need that much.  

If I do, can anyone recommend good cases?  I usually use ANTEC, but the online
vendor I usually go with only has cases with 350W and they don't have ANTEC
cases without a power supply.

Chris.
