For reference, my server, an AMD XP 2700+, with 12 hard drives, 3, 120 mm fans, pulls just under 300 watts. However, I have a 600 watt PSU inside, because most of the wattage is from the 12 volt rails and no 300 watt PSU can support the amperage I draw on the 12 volt rail because of all the hard drives, and fans.
