Which power supply should I go with?

I'm planning to buy this system from mp3car.com. I was wondering if the M1-ATX 90 watt listed as the only option for power is enough. Is it the only one that will fit into the 3688 case? Should I go with more power (Opus 150)?

.... i'd just buy the opus to save me from all the troubles. that way i wouldn't have to worry about power that much, knowing i have 150watts at my disposal.

try to get the opus-150 for shuttles, it's thinner, there *might* be a way to cram that into your case.

You're other option is to buy a carnetix external power supply which also gives you the ability to power peripherals. However, I believe these have issues with how much of the power output is actually regulated...so read up before you buy them!
