im sorry guys, i didnt mean to start a flame thread. I saw many people start i have blah blah blah....do i have everything? Thats the only reason why i asked....

looks like u have the basics.., but do u have a PSU?

**koolharshis** · 07-23-2006, 11:39 AM

Yes, thats the thing im stuck at. I didnt want to purchase it until i didnt finish uploading all the softwares on the carputer first. I dont even know which one to purchase. I looked at a thread here and calculated that i would need 70w PSU (from the CPU). But i got confused because i dont know if the other parts that i would hook up to it (i.e sound card), would take more power.
