what mATX PS are you using?

[randomlinh]

curious to those who have mATX power supplies, and what do you have hooked up to them. I need something to fit in a receiver, and I don't think a standard one will if i use a full sized ATX board (why not use micro? a little more expensive too, and less selection).

shooting to power duron 1.3-1.6/XP2000+, 1 HD, 1 DVD drive....

what brand/model is that 200w?

I've used a 180W from a InWin mATX case to power a Celeron 1.7GHz, P4 mobo with everything integrated, 1x HDD, 1x CD-RW.

Also, same 180W PSU/case on a XP2000+/A7N266-VM with everything also integrated and a 1x HDD and 1x CD-RW.

The one I have is a High Power 230W that comes in the Athenatech A100 cases. That Enermax looks good and I've seen an Arrow 300W on Compgeeks and a Powmax 230W on newegg and compgeeks. If your mobo has a P4 connector (4-pin square, 12V) to power the CPU, then any of the ones mentioned so far could easily handle a Duron. Some Abits, MSIs and Soltek Via based AMD mobos have P4 connectors while most nforce based mobos have em. AMD recommends running their CPUs off the 12V bus for increased stability.
. I've also recently seen a 300W that fits a 1U server case for under $50. That would probably fit into a receiver case too.
.bh.

Not shure of the brand. It came in this case.

I've used a 90watt e-machines psu to run a shuttle flex mb, pci video card, dvdrom, hdd,floppy, and a few fans.
Never had a problem with it.
