M3-ATX 125W PSU good or not?

First of all let me say hi and its nice to see this forum prospering. I am planning on building a computer for my car it is a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS. I will be aiming for just under 1GHZ in processor speed and about 256mb ram. The hardest things for me are going to be the monitor, I/O, and the power supply.

I think I have found the answer to my powersupply problem for a good deal. what do you guys think of this? http://www.mini-box.com/M3-ATX-DC-DC...C-Power-Supply
good, bad? horrible? and why?

There are too many variables.
Personally, I don't trust the M3ATX because i don't know the current output on the individual rails.

It may very well work for you, depending on the hardware you choose for your project.

at ~12v input, the M3-ATX outputs 3.3v@6A, 5v@6A, and 12v@6A

the power specs are in the M3-ATX owners manual
