Looking for Micro ATX case is 235 watts enough?

[MrMaster]

Lite-On Micro ATX Case Model ST-050 Comes with 235 Watt AMD approved Power Supply. Supports AMD and PIII processors. Drive bays: 2 x 5 1/4 bay, 1 x 3.5" FDD, 2 x 1" HDD. Front Panel I/O Model#: ST-050 -OEM

Is that from newegg enough juice for a Duron 1 gigahertz? I am going with an ECS K7SEM266 motherboard with integrated everything.

Yup.

I think 150W is enough for an AMD micro ATX case.

I just put together a mATX system together last night with a 900Mhz Tbird and ECS KV7ZM in a YeongYang YYA102 matx case and haven't had any problems.

I thought that I was going to have major heat problems and abandon using an AMD CPU and have to use an Intel CPU and MB...

...but I cut a 80mm blowhole on the side and now this mATX case can breathe.
(temps are 26'C internal and 38'C CPU)

Should be OK, depends on what 235w psu it comes with. Just don't load it down with a lot of extra stuff. If you have a bunch of USB peripherals, use a powered hub, leave that old 1.7gig hdd behind, stuff like that.

Let us know how you like it- I considered buying one, but couldn't find one at the right price when I needed it. From the pics, looks like it might breathe pretty well....

Yes, I guess that'll be enough provided not much stuff loaded. Duron's power consumption is lower than that of the Athlon, and the 1GHz model is based on the Palomino core which drains less power.
