Small Form Factor Morex 55w PSU and other question...

Hi

My first venture into the world of SFF pc's.

is the Morex 55w PSU ok to power a Via Epia-M 10000 Nemehiah with 1 5400 80gb hdd and a slimline dvd drive?

Also how high is the heatsink and fan on this board?

Thanks

55W is suitable for EPIA, harddisk and SLIMLINE DVD only.

full size dvd takes too much power.

 

thanks Bindibadgi, what are shuttle psu's like? are they loud?

does it matter what its gunna be used for?

anyway its for HTPC

cheers

I've got a shuttle PSU.

It's about as loud as a typical graphics card.

 

They are when they get hot. You could mod one and remove the 40mm fan and cut a hole in the side for a 80mm uber low noise. 200W is an overkill mind. I eventually bought a 110W DC-DC cause it was the same price as buying a slimline dvd and 55W psu as i already have a DVD spare.

 

i ordered the psu and the mobo,

will i need ventalation? or is it ok to run with out fans in the case, if i need em , what are the quietest?

oh btw its a maplin box (another but this is mine)

Why not try the power simulator which suggests it'll be close:
