PSU reccomendation for HTPC

Pugsley_21 · 9th December 2008, 9:14 PM

I'm building up a new HTPC and i'm stuck on what PSU to get. The Psile case is a non-standard size, so I don't have heaps of options for PSU's. From what I can tell there is 2 that fit the bill - Nexus PSB-1000 (with power adapter) or the picoPSU-120. The Nexus PSU is 150w and the picoPSU is 120w. Would either of these be enough to power the system (below), or should I be looking elsewhere at other options? And what might these other options be?

Components:

Nexus Psile Case
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Processor
Intel DG45FC Motherboard
Hitachi 1Tb Hard Drive
2 x 2Gb RAM
Hauppauge HVR2200
MS Media Center Remote and Keyboard
MS Vista Ultimate x64 OEM

Cooling:

Stock Intel cooler from Q9450
Stock Nexus Psile case fan
