Sorry guys I have just been itching to know.

1) Does the Antec P180 case support micro atx boards? Antec's site states it does but seeing as how I have not seen it mentioned anywhere else this might be a mistake.

2) Can the Seasonic S12-380 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151022) power:
Intel E2140
Gigabyte Geforce 8600GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125061)
2GB RAM
2 SATA 7200 RPM HDD
2 Optical Drives (1 DVD Burner and a CD Burner)

The Gigabyte video card is passively cooled and does not seem to draw a lot of power. The E2140 will be overclocked a bit. Do you think this Seasonic 380 watt can handle it?


Thanks.

1) If Antec says it does it should, the only difference is a couple of mounting holes. Unless you already have the mobo I have to ask why mATX for an Intel chip? I haven't seen any good mATX clockers from Intel.

2) Yes.

1) OK I'll take Antec and your word for it. The reason for a micro atx board is because this build is for my brother and he cares more for silence than big bad clocks. I figured a micro atx board would be a cheaper alternative to an unnecessary $100+ P965 board.

2) Good to hear.

And thank you. :cool:
