Is this normal?

[dmurray14]

Hey,

I just got some parts to start building my new computer (slowly, part by part). Anyway, I threw my new motherboard and processor in an old sony case, and I have to say I'm pretty amazed...although I only have a ECS K7S5A, XP1800, 256 ram, and a video card and hard drive in there, I have to say I'm pretty impressed that it's running completely stable on a 200 watt power supply, and the power supply is blowing out cool air! I mean, is it normal for a 200W power supply to be able to handle this? I thought it would blow out very shortly, but it's holding up fine.

a poor psu can be very damaging to your parts

Yes and a quality psu like he seems to have is good to have.

if it's running fine then it must be a quality power supply,keep running it unless you get stability problems.
