Hi, I've been building this Mini-Itx (media) rig and may have planned wrong ?
I've never built one of these before. The whole idea happened when I spotted these perspex cases very cheap.
Struggling with power for :
HP Locktite-GL8E (otherwise known as an ASUS IPILP-AR)
E6700 C2D
DDR2 667 (2x 1Gb)
1x 120 Gb Toshiba 2.5 HDD
1x Slim DVD-RW
2x 60mm Fans
Front LCD Display
* also would like to add a HD5450 low-profile for HDMI
I can't seem to get a PS estimate of under 240w (current of up to 12A)
Will this Mini-itx PS unit (OT540) 12v 200w cover it, you think ? I can't find any PicoPSU's with 250 or 300w.
In hindsight I should have went for an atom or something less 'draining',
as the whole idea was to have this case with no 'chunky' PSU.
The system is built and currently fine with a 400w ATX attached.
How do I get around this one ?
