Power Supply Question!!! :)

[aphex]

I really prefer the look of the DVine5 HTPC case over the DVine4/Accent cases.... (Im switching my whole rig outta my Lian-Li PC65 into a HTPC case soon)

The only thing that concerns me is the micro ATX power supply requirment....

The highest wattage m-atx power supply i could find was 230watt (keep in mind im currently using a Antec True 430)

Would a 230watt PS be able to support my system?

AMD Athlon 2400+ (2ghz)
Soltek Nforce2 Mobo
512 DDR PC2100
80GB Maxtor 7200rpm
ATI Radeon 9700
Yamaha 44x F1 CDRW
M-Audio Revolution 7.1

??


I've heard of people running more than what i've got on a 200 watt PS, but can it be true?

I would think it would...

Yes, the Shuttle XPCs have 200 watt supplies.

Cool... Any reccomendations on Micro-ATX PS's?

Foxconn/Allied has one at newegg for $21

No, my HTPC project is using the Cooler Master 620 case which takes full-size supplies. I finally have enough time to put it all together this weekend, woohoo! It's for music (FLAC) and video playback rather than Tivo/PVR so I'm just putting in a Celeron 1.0A and intel mATX.

Ahh ok... Cool...

Im moving into my girlfriends place and her statement was "You can bring the 35" TV or the Computer" So my plan? Put the computer in the entertainment center 🙂
