OPUS 90w users: Is it enough?

I just ordered the 90w opus and want to make sure it will be enough for:

- M10000 mobo
- 80 gig 3.5" HD
- full size internal dvd rom
- usb gps
- usb fm radio card
- m-audio internal sound card

I used the power calculator, but would like to hear from real users.

What do you think - 90w enough or should I have got the 150w?

if you want sound results, go buy/borrow a 90 microATX psu to test, that is what i did.

This is my deal:
- VIA EPIA M10000 (with built in CPU/AUD/GRAFIC/LAN)
- 160 gig 3.5" HD
- usb gps
- usb mini-keyboard

Here in sweden we don't have Opus :/ And I'd really like to know if my stuff will work with a Opus 90W cause it WON'T be cheap returning the Opus to US. if I have to get a 150W instead...

So anyone knows if my specs. will work with the 90W Opus?

Your setup is close to mine and the rep at OPUS said 90w is enough.

And the most expensive... I will call them when I'm going to do the order and that won't happen for a month or two... So that's why I wanted some facts about it... And if someone has a picture of it or something... Cause I'd REALLY like to know what I'm about to order before I order something that will cost ALMOST as much in taxes+toll that the PRODUCT IT SELF costs (that's how big swedish import costs are...)
So PLZ help me out... :/

How much does the 90w OPUS cost exactly? And since I'm asking how much does the 150w one cost as well?
