enough power?

how big a PSU do you think i'll need for this list?

VIA EPIA Nehemiah M10000 1Ghz 40 watts
512MB DDR 10 watts
80Gb 5200 HD 20 watts
802.11g WIFI 10 watts
DVD-Rom 15 watts
USB GPS reciever (DeLorme Earthmate) 10 watts (i also heard closer to 5w than 10w. I'm not sure)

I'm thinking about getting the ITPS with 90w OPUS, or do you think i will need the 150w one? If i need more power can i just wire an ITPS directly to a normal PSU, say a 300w one maybe?

edit: got some estimated wattage rates, that look close?

ITPS *AND* Opus? Why?

90W Opus doesnt need an ITPS, it has its own shutdown controller.
the 70W opus does not.

Go for the 150. Or, even better, go for inverter + ITPS, much better value.
