Depending on the case, this is the power supply spec: > Wattage > small-form-factor chassis: 110 watts (W); > low-profile chassis: 145 W; > mini tower chassis: 200 W
That is sized to power the memory, the processor, the hard drive(s), one CD-ROM, one floppy, the fan on the PSU and the fan on the processor. The small form factor one can't have a second hard drive or other peripherals. The low-profile I think has room for one extra disk of some sort. The mini-tower can do all sorts of stuff. So depending on which case you have, the power supply could be all sorts of things. I assume you're trying to buy this optiplex used .. they haven't made GX100s for a while now. The specs are here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/Systems/opgx100/en/ug/specs.htm If you're trying to make a large disk storage for your SB, here are some things to consider ... If you remove the CD-ROM, you can probably put 2 hard drives in the box. I think the BIOS is old enough that you'll be limited to 137GB on each hard drive. USB is only USB1.1 But unlike the NASes that have been talked about recently, this has a real processor, can be stuffed with lots and lots of memory, etc. They're nice little machines, though. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
