Whats the cheapest, and most reliable way to power my carpc? Also, where can I find a read me how to wire it and all. I am new to the car electronics, and computer building. So talk to me like I have no clue on the lingo. I will be using an AMD Solo Core, ASRock ALiveNF6P-VSTA AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE / nForce 430 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail, and IN WIN IW-BT611T.300SL Silver Best Performed 0.8mm SECC Japanese Steel metal MicroATX Desktop Computer Case 300W Power Supply - Retail. The last two items are titles directly from newegg. I can give you links to them.

Stay at home and use an extension cord.
j/k click link above.
LOL, thanks guys
You dont use the 300W AC-DC that came with the case. You buy a DC-DC as explained in the link that will handle your system.
100F is nothing, you will be fine.

DSATX, M2atx, opus, the list goes on and on...........................
You have to look them up (search or check out the mpscar store), check out the specs and prices, use the power calculator on this site and make your decision from there.
Anyone who says they can pick one out for you is blowwing smoke up your you-know-what................
Or you can just go big right out of the box and buy a 320w opus or 220w DSATX.
Just remeber:
The words "cheapest" and "best" are usually positioned at opposite ends of the quality spectrum.
Cheers

Thanks guys. That washes the mud from my windshield : ).
If it says ATX Compatible, will it work with Micro ATX boards as well?
ATX in power supplies refers to the 20/24 pin connector.Originally Posted by capcadetjc
ATX as in uATX, is the physical size of the motherboard and has nothing to do with power.
