You should take a look at my thread. I am trying to power a 1.8P4 and a 3.5 HD...i seem to be overloading it

Not sure if that helps you though.

Ive got a p4 2.4ghz and it did power a 3.5" HDD, before i switched to a 2.5"... saying that, im looking to get a p4m cpu (only 5watts!!), if i had known what i know now about the m2, i wouldnt of got it and prob went for an opus psu or something along those lines...

well my cpu is rated at 63.5W (normal) 84.7W (max). i'm going to add up and see what my harddrive, graphics card, and monitor pulls. If they are too much i'll either get a m1-atx for the monitor and harddrive, or i'll get a m10000.
