I am doing a pretty cool case mod right now, i am putting a computer inside my xbox case. Im getting this http://www.logicsupply.com/products/i945gtt_vfa mini itx form factor motherboard, with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111301 that processor. Also im getting a 500 gb desktop hardrive. the built in powersupply says 19v, which is about 120 watts i think. Will that support the cpu and hardrive? Thanks
Power supply question
- Thread starter mtotho
- Start date
Also im thinking of changing that processor to the one clocked at 2.33, do u think it would be worth it for the price (120 dollar increase). i mean i dont mind paying it, and it would probably last longer and pick up for the power lost in the onboard gfxs. Also i forgot to mention im gonna get 2x1gb so ddr2 ram
Well it has a built in gma 950 or whatever their called, i assume it accounts for the processor when they integrate a power supply, it could be more wattage than that, probably as much as an average laptop, infact i think it is as much as an average laptop. Im sure that it can handle the cpu and gfx and ram, i guess i didnt reallly that of it like this before, it basically is the same wattage as a laptop, and a laptop can handle it. How much power do 3.5 inch hardrives use? can a laptop handle one of them? i assume so.

@ esa - it's a mobile processor, optimized for low power consumption.
The volts and the wattage rating are completely different. If you're not putting a separate GPU in though i think it should be okay.

yes but thhese are laptop parts realy and are optimised for low power higher voltage situations , the processor is a laptop processor and thhe mobo is a mini itx mobo so 19v might be about right , my laptop takes 19V and it is ok
also 120w should be more than fine for most laptops , i have used a 60w on imy laptop intel pentium M 1.6ghz with integrated graphics and it worked fine
edit>you may have a problem with a desktop hard drive and 19v
