So I ordered an HD 2600 Pro for my HTPC and looked at the power requirements on ATI's website. They state 400w power supply required. I have an Earthwatts 380w that only has 17A on each rail, which is 204w total to run my system.
I have a single optical and hard drive, overclocked Intel E2160@3.0Ghz, PCI Firewire expansion card, Voodoo 4 4500 32MB PCI video card, and I will add in the HD 2600 Pro once it arrives.
I couldn't find any information from a Google search in regards to total system power consumption with a 2600 Pro, so has anyone here setup anything similar or even beefier than what I have with an Earthwatts 380w with good results?
Edit: I'm hoping to have an abomination of hardware that will retro game and be a HTPC powerhouse by dual booting Win2k and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
