Now we know why new Dell 'Towers' (they are really big!) have huge power
supplies. I think they come either in 750W or 1000W versions. The graphics
cards have their own fan for cooling (suggesting that they do use a lot of
power).
My only suggestion would be to talk to Nvidia. They should know if it will
work on 300W or not. Be prepared for 'won't work'. I would not buy a Quadro
3450 without knowing this for sure. They are not cheap.
My 1 cent worth.

Subject: [ccp4bb]: graphic card
Dear ccp4ers, I am thinking if I can install the nVidia Quadro FX 3450
graphic card in a Dell dimension desktop and just learn such card requires 350W
power supply, but Dell desktop can only give 305W. Does anyone have such setup
before? Thank you any input in advance. Best regards Lei
