Jonny5 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 wanted to know is an Antec Smartblu 350 will have enough juice for my breifcase pc mod. It will have a micro atx board amd 2000-2100+xp chip and and ati vidcard of some kind. I check and the most powerful mini atx PSU i could find was only 200w that just doesn't seem like enough. any help is appreciated j5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxrider623 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 it depends on how many fans,cd rom, floopy, HDD you put in it i have an HP 500MHz celeron with micro ATX board, 10 gig HDD, CD-ROM, floppy, 256 RAM, onboard video so it depends on how much stuff u put in it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 yes yes yes that is defently a big enough ps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Yeah it all depends on how much additional things u add to your system. Like ie. cathodes, fans, water-cooling parts, or maybe even a prometeia or vaposhill attached to the system. If u dont have all the fancy things u should be alright with the ps u have.

mxrider623 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 even hard drives and CD roms take up a lot of power stick with one HDD and if u want a CD-RW and DVD-ROM buy a combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeock Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 for how small of a system that you are trying to make that should be very good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) shweet, thanks for the info The primary reason I am interested in this particular PSU is it kills 2 birds w/1 5+0n3 solves my power needs and my case lighting needs which equals less wieght = me not haqving popeye arms from lugging this thing around I am trying to keep the wieght of the unit w/ screen under 25lbs. I will eventually be posting some pics as i start getting more parts. j5 out ps. my second processor and additional 512meg of ram for my main system arrives probably monday w00t!!
