Reply With QuoteYou might want to consider a slim optic drive, instead of the 5.25 one. It draws less power. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why it shoudn't work.
Please let me know if this will cause trouble on an Opus 90W. I am not expecting you to calculate exact figures, I just need your opinion. I'm trying to steer clear of an Opus 150W, as they are bigger, cost more, and produce more heat.

What scares me the most is the Lilliput actually being powered by the PSU. I can't find another practical solution to powering it though.Originally Posted by Cris
What's so scary about that? The Lilliput doesn't draw much current.
Nice
You can power the lilliput using an off the shelf 12v supply from radioshack.
EPoX mATX SocketA w/onboard Geforce4MX / 512MB PC2700 / AthlonXP 1600
Lilliput / DVDrom / Opus 150W / WD 3.5" 160GB / SB Audigy NX
XP home / Road Runner / iGuidance 4.0
Many on this board have their screen powered by their PSU, it's not a problem. In the case of a Lilli, you might want to consider that too, 'cause it doesn't have automatic turn on, so powering it from the Opus means when you turn on the pc the Lilli turns it self on. Better thatn using the remote or the trasitional power button. I have an Opus 150W PSU and a mm400 screen, which I'll power from the Opus.
My only concern was that all those components exceeded the max output for an Opus 90W.
