Ok, well, im gonan be designing and building a custom cube case and therefore need a small PSU for cheap. Now, you all kno wof the quality of FSP's, but do they continue into mATX? I am gonna be running this:

p4 1.5ghz
undecided mATX board
1 256mb stick of ddr and 1 512mb stick of ddr (to be added)
2 HDDs w/ a raid card (7200 RPM 20gigers)
Geforce2 GTS
POSSIBLY a low end LCD, havent decided
probably about 5 fans (including PSU and HSF)
Some LEDs not worth mentioning.

Well, what do you guys think? That is the cheapest/biggest mATX PSU I could find. Please post if yo know of a better deal.
Thnx.
 
How good are you at moddin' ?
If you believe the 200Watts is too low a power you could
"trim " the heatsinks on a standard PSU to make it
smaller. I have done this to lower the height of a power
supply - but to make up for the cooling-ability lost I thermal
tape'd a copper sheet across the 'sinks.
Even completely un-casing the PSU will reduce size darastcally.
I do not know about EMI if you do this though.
Just take care.

- just a suggestion




Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
 
actually, this was my original plan, but then to open this case I would have to wait for a long time.
