hi there,
i am planning to build a small pc, with custom case with this configuration:

ill use this as a mobo, AT3IONT-I DELUXE (http://uk.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=iHWm73RqE6MCmCtw&templete=2 )
which is cool because pretty much stuffs all the equipement u need.

then ill add a couple of KINGSTON KVR1066D3N7/2G
(http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/91896...Non-ECC-CL7-DIMM-Computer-Memory/Product.html )

now im also going to add 1 2.5"drive, around 160gigs or something (maybe two, on raid)

was thinking of a slim slot-in dvd combod drive from ebay
(something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toshiba-FW-UJ...C_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item5ad9c623bb )

i also want to add a tv card on the pci slot... haven;t figured out whichone yet.

im going to use a usb video in converter like this one http://blog.worldofkonig.com/audio-video/cmp-usbvg5/

2 fans one 120mm and one smaller to guide the flow out of the box

ill also need 2-3 usb devices operating (a hub and a couple of chargers for my gps and my mobile phone)

plus whatever will come in mind while biulding

my question is: will the psu provided with the mobo be able to support all these? (i dont think so, it's 90w)
am i able to use the same mobo with another psu brick maybe? that will provide more watts?
what other posibilities do i have? if i use the non deluxe version of the mobo (which has no psu), any smalls psu's to suggest? (keep in mind that i'll need something generally available in europe - seen this pico-psu thingy, but i'd rather get something that's sold inretail in europe)

i have also been thinking... since it started small but it's getting bigger in my mind... will this config be enough for media? will it be ok with 1080p? should i forget the atom and go for an i3?

thans in advance;)
 
was hoping to hear that, it saves me a lot of trouble... :)
to be honest it's some psu watt calculator that got me into thinking...
with a brief calculation here: http://www.antec.outervision.com/
it required above 140watts, what's up with that?

thanx again D.B.
