Yep, I'm happily using a 65W power supply for my Epia Via M1000 (1Ghz CPU) based system. I use it with a normal 3.5" 80GB hardrive, 1GB of RAM, but no optical drive (as they sap power on startup). I bought the motherboard/CPU/case secondhand on eBay for £90! -- SadGamerGeek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SadGamerGeek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
