    Power consumption, Micro ATX

    OK guys after much research and consideration I have come to the conclusion that I cannot run Blu Ray on my Toshiba U205 laptop, so therefore I need to build a full blown CarPC. This excites me, but I want to do it right the first time. Here is the setup I am thinking:

    Abit I-N73HD (nForce 630i) Motherboard
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz (9x266)
    2GB or 4GB Crucial Dual Channel Memory
    3 - 1TB Seagate HD's in a RAID 5 config
    and then utilizing the on-board video and sound since they are GeForce 7100 and integrated 7.1 audio.

    The reason I am posting in the Power supplies section is that I am wondering what size power supply I need to use for these specs and also ask if a 1000W inverter would be able to handle this. Thanks.

    I suggest checking the FAQs here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advfaq.php
    There is a section with write-ups specifically about choosing power supplies.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
