Mini ITX power supplies...

Looking on OCUK's site there are various options for mini ITX systems. The one that interests me most comes with a 120w power supply.

However this concerns me a little bit. The board I want uses a Core2Duo. Would a 120w PSU be able to cut it? It doesn't mention that it's an 80 plus PSU or anything so theres no reason to believe it's hugely efficient or anything...

i very do doubt it tbh mini-itx cases mostly just run intel atom CPUs which run on very little watts like 60

something closer to 200-300W more realistic if it exists

Which one is it? :-)

You'll find that they'll run most mini-itx setups - the chipsets are VERY low power.

You might want a little more if you're running a GPU, but apart from that...

Zotac Geforce 9300 Mini-ITX, plus a Core 2 Duo 7400.

I think I'll go with the Silverstone case with the 300w psu. Looking at the review it's the best option anyhow, just a tad on the large (boxy size)
