    Unhappy Almost there...

    Well guys I'm getting ready to purchase some parts for my carputer project going in my '06 RSX. The parts I picked out seem to be great to me. Here they are so far :

    Gigabyte mini atx mobo :
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128029

    Kingston Dual channel memory(512mb) :
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820144148

    AMD Athlon 64 3200 :

    DSATX 220W PSU:
    http://www.digitalww.com/DSATX.htm

    Lilliput 7" Touchscreen :
    http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=MON%2D016

    Now thats all I have as of right now most of everything else I already have. I was just wondering if its possible to run everything here w/o any problems.Before you flame me I used the power supply calculator already I just wanted to make sure I'm not doing anything incorrectly.

    If I don't need that big of a power supply would an Opus 150watt PSU work just fine? The other things i'm going to add on to that is probably a 60gb sata hdd oh and if its not too much to ask are there any cheaper websites.

    Thanks,

    if you are concerned with saving a few bucks here and there, use froogle for each product....

    www.froogle.com

    as for the rest of it, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I'll leave it up to others who have experience with each of those products.

    I don't think the Opus 150 will work. Probably not enough current on the 12V rail, but double check. The M2-ATX should work but again check the 12V current ratings. That is where you will be limited. It's better to be safe with more power than not enough. I am upgrading my current setup and now I have to buy a THIRD power supply. I was going to do the M2 but I am going to wait and pick up the Opus 250 so I don't short change myself if upgrade even later down the road.

    Just some words of wisdom.

    If you're going to go witht he DSATX, for over the extra $10 for the brainstem. You won't regret it.

    Not even close.
    Read this FAQ: FAQ: Will <insert PSU model> Power Supply work with my system?
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?


    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    What is the brainstem? I tried googling for it but didnt come up with some reliable answers. Anways I just now saw the Opus 250w was the same price as the DSATX. I personally think the Opus is a better brand so I think I will go with that unstead only if it is going to work with my configuration.

    I'll try to figure out how much power it will use. I will report to you guys later on thanks!

    Well i'm pretty sure the processor will work with either the Opus 250 or the DSATX I found many of the AMD 3200+ processors on the Chris Hare's processor electrical information thing.
    The only problem is I cant find the correct one that has the same socket as the one I posted above but I found the 3200+ on that website with the highest rating and it was still able to power it. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

    Sorry for being so demanding
