Power requirements....

[digital_exhaust]

I can not find a PSU calculator that will give me the info I need. I've got an Asus A8N-Sli Deluxe, 4400+, 4x512m memory and a DVD/RW that I need to power. No hard drive, no video card, no keyboard mouse or monitor, just the parts listed above. This machine will be folding headless using the *nix folding cd.... and all I've got right now is a 250w PSU.

Question is, will that be enough?

Thanks for any thoughts....

I have a similar folding machine and it draws 135W (it does have a harddrive and an x300 video card though so mine should be highr than yours by ~10w). A 250W supply will be fine

Thank you! Hopefully I'll have this one later tonight...

Depends on the 250w power supply.

I've got it running right now and it's been stable for a whopping hour so far

I have no idea what brand model it is... I had used it for about a year in one of my work machines... a Dell 4600, and it was fine...

Time will tell.....
