Any LC11 users out there?

If you have an LC11 how do you find the included 300w psu, noise wise and heat wise.

and could you please list the components you are powering off the LC11 psu.

Many thanks

I was trying to run a Semp64 3000, Asus K8V-VX, 8600 GT, 80GB HDD and NEC 1300A and it failed dismally. Crashed as soon as you loaded the card, but then again you'd kinda expect that... Ran fine on the onboard stuff though, as did the Via Epia 1300 stuff in there previous to that. Noise wise it's pretty quiet, but space wise it's a bit of a pain.

I ended up shelling out for the Antec Fusion and it had more space, better cooling and a quiet/decent 430W PSU thrown in for good measure.

Cheers, i'm not actually looking to get that case, just more interested in the actual 300W PSU

I see, you'll have a job finding anything more powerful in that format though. I really didn't want to part with the case it's a lovely size/build but sadly there's nothing really more powerful out there

Yep that's the idea behind this research to see what people have been running off that sort of psu. As i have a 200w psu in my current planned htpc case that looks to be the same specs size wise and though i'm yet to test it out i think it will be a limiting factor and am looking to see if getting the 300w LC11 psu would be beneficial or if i need to be looking in another direction.
