I have a RS322e, with a wirless card and an extra gig or ram.
I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card to a ATI Radeon X800. But I dont know if the PSU will be enough to power everything.
If it isnt, where can I get a 400w PSU that will fit the case? is the current one a standard size?
Keep it until this has worked out, then shove it on ebay
I have an RS 502, by the look at things i may change mine lol.

OK, I have now moved everything into this new case. It was quite a nightmare.
The case isnt the same awesome quality as we'ew used to from Sony, so that was a llittle dissapointing. The flaps for the drive bays are much looser and make more noise. My 2nd drive bay flap gets stuck open every time after the drive try has retracted. I think a small dab or grease on the hinge will fix that though.
The PSU has more connectors than the VAIO. I've had to cable tie A LOT out of the way.
The card read will not fit anywhere into the case. BIG SHAME 😞
The cover for the floppy drives is really shoddy, but I dont use it that much anyway.
The front of the case is glossy, and attracts dust and hair (i have 2 dogs and a cat!)
I had the worst time fitting the drives. I dont think its possible to remove the front of the case like it is with the vaio, so they had to be slotted in from beind after removing the powersupply. The front facias of the drives kept getting caught on bits of metal, and ended up in me carefully flexing parts of the case outward so that they didnt catch anymore.
Then a screw sheered off as i was tightening it.
And to open the drives you have to push the buttons quite hard, almost completely into the case. I might work on a solution to that though
