Is my setup Opus 150 friendly?

I tried those PSU calculators but Id rather ask the experts

I have an Opus 150watt and I was wondering if what Im running is okay? Some of those PSU Calc sites say yes, some say no.

Old Gateway Mini Mobo
1.3 Celeron CPU / FAN
3.5 160gb hdd
2 sticks SDRAM (512 total)
USB CDRW/DVD Drive (it has an AC adapter but I was thinking of tapping into the PSU)
USB GPS Reciever
USB Touch Screen
USB Keyboard
USB Xitel HiFi-Link (Audio Out)

I think that covers it.

Opus will easily handle that.

i don't know man my opus 150 has a hard time with all the extra USB devices i have. I think i have 8 total, 2 lilliput screens a 3.5 hard disk and slim slotload cd/rw running a p4-M 1.6 processor

I was having resume from standby/shutdown/hibernation problems. It looked like the 12v rail was fine but the 5v rail was overloaded becasue as soon as i unplugged the USB hub everything works.

I bought an opus 80w for my auxiliary devices (2 lilliputs, USB hub, CD ROM) i should get that it midweek.

You should be fine but incase your not you can always get an external PS for aux devices

Yeah the system seems be handling it easily.

One more question though...
what amp fuse should I be using between the battery and the opus?? The original fuse (for the stereo) was 15 and kept popping so I put a 20 and its fine now. Is that ok?
