is what a good power supply? you need to know:
1. power rail capabilities
2. lowest operating voltage (important for crank)
3. does it have an SDC?
I am guessing it will be crap and a DSATX or even an M2-ATx would be better. you should be fine on that system but check the grpahics card consumption and if its 5V or 12V

I'm going to guess that he's talking about the PW-200, since that's the only DC-DC that's $50...
In short, it's a horrible piece of crap and you're stupid if you buy it; the 200W rating is a lie, and you'll need to buy ANOTHER power supply to go along with it if you want to use it at all, and there's very little chance that it would have enough power to run your proposed system even if you did. If you want the long version, you can search for the handful of threads where people explain why it is a complete ripoff and the epitome of false advertisement.
Really, the price is an instant tip-off... It should be fairly suspect to you that a DC-DC which costs $50 can possibly be any good, considering that the other, respectable ones that are 150-220W are 3 times that price or more... you get what you pay for. In this case, you'll get something that won't work for you and will be a waste of money.
