Is my power supply good enough for a Thunderbird?

[hatboy]

I've got an InWin IW-A500 that has a 250W power supply. The power supply is labeled as being an AGI HP-250NLXAK. This model number seems very similar to some HIPRO model numbers, so I'm wondering if it might actually be a HIPRO. However, it does not appear on AMD's recommended list, so I'm wondering if it would be adequate to run a Thunderbird. The amperages for various voltages are also listed on the label. They are:

+5V 27A
+12V 9A
-5V 0.5A
-12V 0.5A
+5VSB 1A
+13.3V 14A

Right now I'm using it to power a system that has dual PII 450s and it works well (it stays quite cool). Thanks for any help.

Nobody knows?

it "should". As always, check AMD's recommended power supply list(sorry, don't have link handy).

Thanks for the response. As I said, it's not on the recommended list (that's why I'm asking the question here).

Sorry, I didn't see that... Hmm, are any other HiPro power supplies on the list?

The list is here. Yes, there are some other HiPro power supplys on the list, just not mine (and none labeled as an AGI).

Is this the original power supply that came w/ your Inwin? Do a search for it, seem like there is quite a bit of people here who do use InWin.
How much component do you have in your case.

The powersupply, lol. I'm scared if i add anything else and i won't get enough power to boot.
