I just got my IDEQ 210v up and running but there was a problem with the 6800nu. Originally the IDEQ accidently shipped with the jumpers set to 100 clock speed which dropped my AMD 3200 down to 1100mgz. One I fixed this however, it would start to crash on me on startup. Pulled out the 6800, and it start fine. Looks like too much juice is needed for the 400FSB & a 6800. Looks like I will have to upgrade to the 250w psu -- and man, is the fan on the 6800 loud in comparison to this little mini.

you could try to find a 350w 1u PSU (if that will fit), or you could do an external PSU, and sleeve the cables running into the back of the case (you'd also probably need a few feet of extensions)
 
I have a 250W PSU in the system with my BFG 6800 OC (other hardware: Sempron 2200+ @ 1.8GHz, 1 optical drive, 1 hard drive). It works fine at default speed, but crashes to the desktop sometimes at 400/800.

I'd recommend getting a 300W PSU if you can find one that size. Antec has a SFF case that includes a 300W PSU in it.

Problem is, this is in an IDEQ 210v (Mini) and the one you showed me was a ATX PSU -- probably 1/6th the size of this computer. Biostar does have an aftermarket 250w psu which will fit in here but nothing higher.

Anyone picked up another PSU fore one of these? Is this PSU standardized or is it custom?

Thanks,
