Power Supply Wattage for mATX Mobo

Picked up an InWin mATX case that came with a 145W PS. That good enough for a SuperMicro mATX (Intel 815 chipset) mobo with P3/1gig that will use onboard video, NIC, single hdd, CD, tape drive (maybe), and floppy? Should probably swap it, but kinda curious how others may have done with this...

Thanks!
 
I figure it will work... the PS seems good quality, as most InWin power supplies are. Just wonder if a bigger power supply will have a long-term advantage. This will not be an overclocking machine at all, in any case.

Thanks for the reply!
 
You'll be just fine. I've built about 75 systems on a mix of InWin and Enlight mATX cases. Most have similar specs rangine from 733Mhz Celeron II to 933Mhz Pentium IIIs.

Great to hear... thanks! I knew someone here must have done the mATX thing before. 🙂

Did you use the InWin V500, by any chance?
