yes sir. you're right that I'm stupid for not planning better.

but, I am at least checking everything out now and making sure it's right before it goes into the car. For example, I bought a multimeter and am thankful I did, because it made finding a switched acc. line easier.

sure enough, the computer boots fine on my regular 300 watt atx psu.

I went ahead and ordered a 160 watt m2 atx since my whole set up is based on the m2 dimensions and stuff. I think that should make a big difference from the 90 watt m2 atx that couldn't power my cpu. Even with the 160 Watt, I imagine I will have to limit what I plug into my socket A462 setup.

thanks for all the help.
