    could you look over my to-buy list

    Could you guys tell me if this is everything I would need? Im a little confused on what power supply I would need

    Casetronic C134 mini-ITX case Black
    VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemiah Mini-ITX Motherboard
    Ultra Low Profile PC2100 / DDR266 memory 256 MB
    Notebook 2.5" Hard Drive 40GB Seagate 5400rpm
    Notebook HD to IDE Converter (2.5" to 3.5")
    Windows XP
    Netgear MA111 802.11b Wireless USB Adapter

    What kind of power supply do I need? Since the case already comes with one, do I still need the OPUS?

    Most of the answers are int eh forums here somewhere.

    Two general ideologies for powering your CarPC:

    1) A DC-DC power supply like the Opus or Carnetix models.
    2) A DC-AC inverter that allows you to plug in your regular PC and run like the wind.

    There are pros & cons to either option. I've listed them before, so won't bother now. You know how to find them now.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    i dont mean to be a jackass, cause i know im new here, but you telling me to search doesnt really help me. I have been lurking here for 2 weeks about, reading the noob sections. But the problem is, every setup and config is different. Therefore, its kinda hard to find answers to specific questions by searching when everyone is running a different setup. I just wanna makes sure the power supply will work with MY CONFIG. Cause i dont wanna end up getting something and then not having it work.

    /end rant


    So is my setup OK minus the power supply?
