Is 110W enough?

I'm thinking of buying the following:

Silverstone LC19

GA-E7AUM-DS2H
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mot ... uctID=2946

FloppyDTV DVB-C firewire Tuner Card

WD 1TB SATA harddrive

I'll be using this system as my HTPC (HD, Divx, xvid playback).

Is 110W enough for this system? The Silverstone case is delivered with 110W PSU.

Hi,

Probably... but as you don't mention what CPU you plan to use it's hard to be certain.

Sorry, that would properly be:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300, 2.6 GHz, 2 MB

should be fine, just don't overvolt the cpu if you plan on overclocking it.

Cool, I'll try. Maybe I will post some pictures later on.

A friend of mine is running that board with an E8400, 2x2GB DDR2-800, a TV tuner, a 300GB VelociRaptor, a 500GB 7200 rpm Hitachi drive, and 3 120mm fans, all on a PicoPSU 120 with EDAC 110W brick, and the highest he's seen is 98W at the wall running GTA4, which also gives me higher power consumption than any combination of Orthos and ATITool.
