Which Opus to get?
I am building a mini-itx computer with m10000 MoBo, laptop dvd/cd, 512Mb ram, and 80Gb HD. Should I get the 150 Watt SFX DC-DC Vehicle Power Supply for ATX even thoug I am using a mini-itx?

Most mini-itx boards take an ATX power supply. You might, however, be able to get away with the 90 watt version. Apparently you need to call Opus on the phone to even find out about the existence of the 90 watt unit, however.

Would using the 150 be bad even if I don't need it now?

The 150 should be fine.

Only real difference (besides power output) is the actual size of the unit and the price. The 90 watt is small, about 7" by 3" by .75". The 150 is much taller.
