Hello all, got a noob question for ya. I'm planning on building a small media box. I'm putting a Shuttle mk35n mb into an Aopen H340D mATX case. Nothing more than a 10GB hdd, of course 512 (maybe just 256) Crucial DDR 2100 mem. And I'm undecided on a video card with TV-out capability that is compatible with the mb. I could benefit on info for a good video card too. :p

I was basically writing this for info on a good PSU though. Since it's a small case, I obviously need a small PSU. Does anybody have any suggestions on a small PSU that is also reliable and preferably quiet. Would 200 watts be enough to push this simple box? :eh?:

Thanks for your advice.
 
You could try to find the PSU used in the Shuttle line of SFF computers. It's 200W and absolutely tiny! A 1U PSU is also an alternative, but that's about twica the size of the shuttle PSU. (Or actually it's manufactured by Achme or Enhance afaik)
