100 watt psu?


On my psu the only wattage I see is "output 100 w". Does this mean my psu is only 100 watts? I don't know what kind of psu it is ,it came with the case when I bought it.

That's it. Usually you don't see a 100w in anything but older AT machines.

I find it hard to believe that in an atx case that is one year old there would be a 100 watt psu. I thought the min. for an atx case is 250 watts.

Yea, I thought so too. I have seen a 75w power supply in a Compaq machine though... P200MMX.

Sounds like somebody was saving a little money when they put that together.

Sorry I made a mistake I found where it says 250 watts on the psu.
