I just got an Asus T2-AE1 barebone, which came with a 200W PSU. I am not sure whether 200W will be enough power. Here is the set up...
Asus K8ST mobo, AMD Athlon64 2800+, BenQ DVD/RW, Lite-On DVD/ROM, GeForce 6200 vid, Maxtor SATA-150 HDD, onboard sound, Dlink PCI WLAN card
Do you think I can get by with the 200W PSU? If not, how do I find a PSU that will fit the case. I bought a standard ATX, but it was too big. I think the case uses a MicroATX form factor, but it is hard to determine from Asus' website.
If I can buy a MicroATX PSU, what other issues should I be concerned about...Dual 12V? PFC? I see these things in the specs, don't really know what exactly they are...
Thanks!
