micro-atx and opus

S4Per · 02-16-2004, 12:02 PM

Can anyone verify that I can use an Opus with a micro-atx mobo and case?
felx atx also?

TIA,
Per

As long as the mobo uses the standard ATX power connector, it should work fine.

And as long as your power consumption isn't more than what the OPUS is providing.

My Shuttle MN31N also requires a 2x2 12v plug.... Does the opus supply this?/

Yes, my Opus 150W came with this.

If you're referring to the physical fit, my Opus 150 is an exact drop-in replacement for the PSU in my microATX case, right down to the location of the mounting screws.

Thanks..... I just got the mobo yesterday, and had no idea it needed this plug! My older atx psu doesn't even have one.... what a relief
Im off to buy a new psu! (so I can set this thing up in the house!)

I had no problems fitting the Opus 150 into a Casetek CS-1007-2B case and no-brand microATX case from Taiwan. Something you might want to take note of - the 3 pin Molex connector on the Opus (for +12/GND/Ign) is quite close to the bottom edge. There's a rare chance that on some microATX cases, the Molex connector may run into the bottom lip of the case where the mounting hole is. You might want to test fit the Opus into any prospective case before buying.
