Hi guys,
Trying to build my fist small factor pc to be my primary "entertainment system" and I am having some issues with the parts.
I am looking into the Shuttle SN85G4 case with 240W PS as a platform. This unit is based on the nForce 3 system (which is ok with me). Anyhow, my issue is power. This is my theoretical setup. Will the 240W be enough?
Into the SN85G4 we include:
Radeon 9700 PRO AGP (wattage?)
Theatre 650 PCI (wattage ?)
Athlon XP 3000+ (939 winchester) (89W)
2 x 512 MB of RAM
1 x 250 gig HD (wattage ?)
1 x DVD burner (wattage ?)
This is it in a nutshell. My main concern is power consumption of the Radeon and Theatre video cards. I would like to use this system not only to watch and record TV but also to play a "classic" game or two. Anyone has a clue how much juice both cards use under full load?
Thanks for all your input!
PS: are there any good sites which have power consumption databases of video cards?
