Ahanix Case PSU will support AMD 64 and SATA?

[cornelp]

Has anyone had the chance to see and/or have this case?

I like the case very much, but the PSU is quite bad (in my opinion). I will put a M ATX MBoard with A64 3500+, Nvidia PCI-E Vid, PVR PCI Card, and 1 SATA 200GB HD. I really wanted the SATA Power connections off the PSU, but I dont think this PSU has that.

If that PSU is not good enough for the AMD 64 3500+, then what PSU can I get to fit in this case? Seems that the information shown here says Micro PSU, but when I really look at the case itself, it seems it has a standard PSU.

Anyone can help me here. I am almost done putting together my system components and this is the last piece:

This is what I am building.
CK804K8MA-KS Board
AMD 64 3500+ 64 Bit CPU
2 GB Corsair PC3200
CHAINTECH nVIDIA GeForce 6200 PCI-Express
Hauppage PVr250
Seagate 200GB SATA 8 MB Drive
TDK DVD Burner
Case, still working on it, hopefully Ahanix with good PSU.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. THIS WILL FINISH UP MY BUILD.

I'd be concerned about the PSU only having 250W especially since you're going with an Athlon64 chip. Especially with all the other stuff you're wanting to cram into that case.

If you want a definitive answer, contact the case maker directly and ask them... They might have a source for another PSU that will fit and will handle what you're looking to do.

That's NOT a standard PSU. It's a MicroATX PSU.

I would be concerned about noise if you are going to use it as an HTPC... A case that uses a standard ATX PSU would be a better choice IMHO.

A gentleman over at HTPC News just finished building an HTPC with a microATX case that can take a full ATX PSU. Read about it HERE. Photo gallery of said system HERE.

HTH.
