    Car PC System Questions

    I have an A7N8X-DLX mobo, 2000+ CPU, 512 DDR (don’t remember what speed) and an 80 gig WD HDD.

    My question: What PSU should I get to power this set up?

    I will be running an AGP Video card. NO DVD or CD Drive. I have a built in inverter (100W) in my car (2004 Toyota Matrix XR). I plan on using a Xenarc 7" touch screen in the dash.

    SO what’s my best power option? I'm proficient in electronics. If anyone has a good schematic and PCB layout for something that would work for me, that would rock.

    Is the 100 watts for the built in inverter RMS or peak? Kinda OT but i'm just curious.

    o Nokia n800 on the way.
    o Crappy Sony head unit that needs replacing (but it has 3 sets of pre-outs and aux in)
    o Progress to come after I fix some of my car's mechanical issues.

    I think you'll need the Opus 150W to power that setup. I'm pretty sure that setup uses more than 100W.
