msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	I have this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121401 This memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145251 Processor. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115221 WD Green 1TB HDD. I am thinking of getting this SSD too but maybe not right away. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227542 How many watts do I need to run this thing ? It would be nice to get a PSU with an external brick and no fan but I don't know if those supply enough power. _________________________ Matt

About 20-30 watts for the motherboard, 70-80 watts for the CPU, 5-10 watts for the HD, a couple of more watts for the memory and a bit of surplus. This should probably do nicely. _________________________ Riocar 80gig S/N : 010101580 red Riocar 80gig (010102106) - backup

So I can have a smaller case too. I was hoping I could use something like this. http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-150-XT-102-power-kit _________________________ Matt

msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Got all the parts still need a power supply I will probably just settle for a Shuttle one. Need something to put it all in too. Something like this minus the optical drive would be great. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zapwizard/sets/625883/ It would probably take me so long to make everything would be outdated by the time I got done though Attachments _________________________ Matt
