[mythtv-users] Mini-ITX Motherboard & PSU

[Steve Dwyer]

Hi,

I am just creating a component list for my MythTV box. I want the box to be nice and small and I will be creating my own case.

I was looking at the Insight P4-ITX Mainboard (http://linitx.com/shop/product_info.php/cPath/12/products_id/325) as it is small and can use a nice powerful p4 cpu unlike the EPIA ITX Mainboards that use the C3 Processor. So I was wondering if anyone knew what Size PSU I would require (As I know the P4 can use up quite a lot of Power).

In the system I would also have a slimline DVD-Rom (Doesnt need as much power as normal ones) and around a 120GB 7200rpm HDD.

I have been looking at 'Lex 14-19V DC 120W ATX Power Supply Set' which is similar the the PSUs that most EPIA machines uses but is double the wattage, but I am unsure whether this is powerful enough. If I need more power then I will have to make the case quite a lot bigger which I don't really want to do.

Steve
