I'm interested in building a new system with this case:
http://www.psile.com/index.php?page=catalog_details&CID=2

What's the most powerful PSU I'd be able to use with it?


I'd like to put these components into it:

Motherboard: http://shop.zotac.com/index.php?pag...category_id=15&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
CPU: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLGAE
RAM: http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...asp?root=&LinkBack=&ktcpartno=KVR800D2N6K2/8G
Hard Drive: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=459&language=en
Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118028
+ a CPU heatsink / fan and an additional case fan

Not sure how powerful a video card I'd be able to use in that x16 slot. The case can fit an ~ 8.267717 inch (210mm) card.

The PC will be used for work (word processing, email, etc.), watching DVDs and HD video files, streaming HD video, some light gaming (mostly WoW).

It will run three monitors (one 1920x1200 24" LCD, one 1680x1050 22" LCD, and a 720p 26" LCD TV). The motherboard's onboard GPU will be used to run the 720p 26" LCD TV and I'd like a dedicated video card to run the 24" and 22" LCD monitors.

It won't be overclocked. Everything would be run at stock speeds.
 
It's a 65W quad. I don't think it gets as hot as the older C2Qs. Looks like this case won't work with my setup then if I'm limited to PicoPSUs. :(
 
Uses a DC-DC converter then an AC adapter / brick. The most powerful DC-DC converter I've found is the 150W PicoPSU.
