I just had a CIT S010BA delivered. It came with a psu of some sort and just want to know if this is capable of powering the following:

ASUS P8H61 M Pro
Intel G840 cpu
GT 520
1Tb HDD 7200rpm
1 Bluray player

Also don't know if the PSU is a micro atx, can't find any info on the web.

Your advice is greatly appreciated. Ta

Based on the PSU spec it should have a maxium output of 180 W +12 V.

Your system should be well under that, closer to 100 W on full load.

It's a cheap PSU, so a slightly high risk of damage to the PC if it fails, but on low power system the risk is a lot lower compared to a gaming PC with a decent graphics card.

I've dealt with a lot of failed cheapo PSUs on similar low powered systems and none were damaged by the PSU. That doesn't mean it can't happen though. :P
 
Now up and running. Psu is rather noisy. Will suffice for now until I find a replacement. Anyone knows which and where to get a good one?





edit: I forgot to install the GT520 !

You got any pics of the case with the panel on monkey? and the front?,

Also did you keep the speakers it has built in or did you take them out?

I just replaced the psu this morning with a Silverstone 450w because the Cit psu is annoyingly noisy, but I forgot to take a few pics. I will take some and post them later.
The speakers are ok if the volume is set up to 50%, if I adjust the volume adjuster higher, I hear some humming. I haven't removed them yet. There is no writing on the speakers anywhere so don't know the details.

The psu was manufactured 08/2011 IIRC.
