Hey,
This is most probally a stupid question but need an answer so I can order a Case
Looking at these two
Antec Micro Fusion 350 HTPC Case with Remote
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-108-AN
and
Antec ISK 300-65 mITX Case - Black
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-126-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160
If i place an ION board and hdd into both would they draw the same amount of power, e.g. 30watts from the wall.
The reason i ask is because one has a 350 watt "normal" power supply and the other has a 65 watt "PICO" power supply. Try to make the most engery efficient htpc I can.
Am i right to think that the powersupply will only "draw" what it needs for power and not have overheads etc?
Cheers
