Power Supply Wattage for mATX Mobo

[ncg]

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!

its doable, its more dependant on the quality of the psu. give it a try at least, it may work just fine.

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?
