Thread: Powering Epia ME6000

Did some searching and there's mixed comments about whether or not an Opus works because of the power rail or something. Unfortunately, I'm no electrical engineer. I can solder, I can use a multimeter and install a complex car alarm with a wiring diagram, but picking a power supply is beyond my understanding. I've read the FAQ Emporium, and still a little shady on what exactly I'm looking at, so here's the post.

I have a Via Epia ME6000 Motherboard, a standard desktop HDD, DVDrom, USB 2.0, Liliput 7" monitor, etc. When I used the power calculators, it came to (depending on the two calculators ) 106-130W. Would an Opus 150W power supply be a good choice? I know Opus is a very trusted brand. A long time ago when I was working on this project, I remember a very popular PSU that was being used with the Via Epia motherboards, but they were on hold or not released or something of the sort.

If someone could just give a simple "Yes, an Opus is sufficient and perfect for your application" or "No, I would recommend ________ for your needs" I'd greatly appreciate it, as I'd rather get recommendations from the people that know what they're doing.

Thanks in advance.
