ok my next project is to mod a NES into an HTPC- I am thinking about using an external PSU to save space. I fould something like this and was wondering if you guys think it will provide enough power for my system. http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-90-80W-power-kit
or if this would even work with that mother board.
I am just now sure how much power this thing will draw.
The rest of the system I have is as follows:
ZOTAC IONITX-G-E Intel Atom 330 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813500037
4GB RAM
laptop DVD Drive
30 GB OCZ Vertex SSD (I might change to a 2.5 laptop drive for more storage)
external PSU for HTPC

Re: external PSU for HTPC
I don't know ION's power use off hand, but as it's designed for netbooks and stuff, I'm pretty confident in saying an 80W PSU will be fine for your needs.

Re: external PSU for HTPC
That setup will pull about ~60W when stressing GPU & CPU according to a recent review over on Anandtechsmack323 wrote:ok my next project is to mod a NES into an HTPC- I am thinking about using an external PSU to save space.

Zotac supply a 90W (19v) external PSU with their mini-ITX Atom boards.
