PC PSU requirements

[Albino Boo]

I'm in the process of planning an media centre PC and I need to know if I can run the following

1 i3 or G860

2 SSD

3 HDD

4 satellite tuning pcie card

5. blu ray drive from a laptop

on a Pico PSU 180w supply. I'm trying to build a fanless system which is why I went for one of the pico psu's. I can't find what the satellite card will draw and I was hoping someone would know

I came across this [http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp]...you might want to check it out. I put your info in with a bit of guesswork and 180w should scrape by but it's probably not ideal.

Thanks for the link. It looks a bit too close for comfort. I think what I will do is to buy one of the powered USB tuners. I am building a custom case anyway, so I will just mount the tuner on the inside and connect of the motherboard risers.
