I have a matx board, with a nic, cheap soundcard, 32X CDRW, 2-20GB 5400rpms HDs, no PCI video card-yet. P-III, 1 GHz, 256MB. How do I know if my PS is good enough? How do I figure out how many watts my system is using? I have a 145 watts PS as of now. I know the easy answer is "just go buy the Antec KS282+PP303X, it's only about $45, with a 300 watt PS, shipped free(? on some days) from emscomputing". But why waste $45 if the PS is good enough, and the money could be put toward a barebones system with a better MOBO and case.
Thanks
