Power Supply Requirements

[enaberif]

Would this:
Yang Ming International - Rackmountpro.com

Power this:
matx board
775 21xx
1 or 2gb memory
1 or 2 500gb hard drive
1 optical sata drive
1 hauppage 350
1 8600 nvidia
1 7.1 audio card

I'm assuming yes as its 400w and seems to have a good 12v rail.

More than likely it should be good. You might want to check this out : eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite v2.5

I use it fairly often when im not sure about a powersupplies abilities. Im using it right now myself to see if a 240/250 watt shuttle 1U power supply would power my upcoming build (see modt htpc build log thread)

[enaberif]

Yah it'll be for a htpc which is why I was wondering;; smaller = better :D

Why would you want a 1U rackmount PSU for a HTPC?

[enaberif]

Cause its small :P and provides enough power :)

Can you think of a downfall?

[SKYMTL]

Because it is long and will not fit properly in an ATX PSU mounting area.

Might be a side note but did you make sure your tuner card and what not are low-profile or will fit a 1U case?

Won't be used in a 1u case :) Gonna be all custom.

Well, if anything it sounds like it will be an interesting project. Can't wait to see the results.
