It won't damage the CPU. Might as well give it a try, but if it doesn't, don't be surprised.

Go for it. I am using a 2500+ Barton, Audigy 2, 40 Gig WD and 9600 Aiw on a A7n8x-VM Matx board powered with a 200 Watt mini P/S.

works fine, not a burp. Just dont overclock until you get a new P/S

If it's a decent PS go for it, just don't overclock yet.

A friend of mine bought a case along with a 350W PS few years ago for $70 CAN I think (or maybe less). The PS blew up when he tried to boot up his new system. Exchanged the PS and it blew up again when he tried to boot up the system. In the end he got an Enermax PS.

The PS was a no name brand so...

I guess quality matters because when I used the 250W version of the PSU on the right, a 1.3 GHz Duron with no drives and just a low-power video card would always shut down in 30 seconds.
