im really lost as to what power supply to get here. I read a bunch of the stickies and threads describing what ps to get but just dont know which route to go here.
my setup is going to consist of
micro atx motherboard
1.25 gb RAM
2.4 ghz processor
40gb HD
no cd\dvd drives
usb sound card
xenarc 700id flipout monitor
usb mouse
and possibly a few other usb devices
software will consist of
windows xp pro sp2
riderunner
iGuidance
maybe some emulators
original power supplys specs:
AC input: 100-127/220-230v-,6/3A,60/50Hz
DC output: 200watts
(+3.3v & +5v=105W Max
some input would be awesome
the capacity of the original PSU is really irrelevant... You need to figure out how much the system actually consumes if you want to the get the smallest compatible psu possible.
Otherwise just go with an Opus 180w... or if you want more room to play go with the Opus 250w or the M4... I prefer the Opus but its a matter of preference and money.
ok so i used extreme power supply calculator on the web
and it gave me a suggested psu of 144 watts
with:
micro atx desktop mobo
intel celeron 2.6 ghz cpu
2 sticks of ddr ram (1.25gb)
1 3.5" IDE 5400rpm HDD
no drives
and 7 usb devices
my question is will i be safe with the DSX12vd 140w psu or should i bump it up to the M2 ATX 160w psu? also whats the difference between the M2 ATX HV and the M2 ATX 160 w psu?
