I bought an Athenatech A100BB case for an HTPC i'm building. This case is utterly FANTASTIC. I love everything about it!

It came with a Sparkle (SPI) 200w PSU. It's not a normal ATX form factor PSU. Does anyone know if I would be able to find a replacement PSU for it? It's not enough to power all my components (barton 2500+ @ 3200+, 512mb ram, 9800 pro, etc). I get random shut offs :eek:

Either I get a bigger PSU or a smaller video card :(

anyone know if this PSU follows any form factors? maybe I can dig around and find something... (microatx? flexatx?, etc)
thanks for any help!
 
likely a MicroATX \ SFX varient (there are a couple)
your options becomes extremely limited compared to an ATX12V-PS\2

what are the physical measurements
(hate to tell you this but that is near the top end of the wattage in that class, many are listed with more amps but FSP\Sparkle conservatively rates their supplies)
there might be a 300>350 watt available, depends on the dimensions (and my memory :p )
 
I was afraid of that... man that hurts. Why did they make this 9800 pro draw such an outrageous amount of power :-|
 
takes power to play
whats the possiblity of a case mod to use an ATX-PS\2 form factor?

or say a 1U or 2U formfactor?

if you have those dimensions (current PSU) we can look
or if you can give me dimension that you might be able to fit
