So I'm wondering if this 150-XT PicoPSU is enough to power the following HTPC

CPU: Intel i3-530
MB: Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 mini-itx
Ram: Corsair XMS3 4GB
HDD: 1TB (don't remember brand)
DVD burner: LG I think (but not sure if I need to keep it)
Case: MI-008 (the stock PSU is driving me nuts!)
Running Win7.

one other though I have is pulling the HDD and DVD, putting a small SSD and running the live version of XBMC, as this will only power a 32" TV and draw from the main HTPC that services the big TV. any thoughts on that?

Thanks!
Mike

Definitely. Assuming that your 12v adapter has enough capacity. 60w should be enough, 80w would be no doubt. I have a setup that is similar except I have a dGPU and a pci-e tuner and I've never seen my system draw over 50w.

The 150w will work but it is triple what you need. A 90w pico with 90w or higher ac adapter or the 120w wide pico with 18.5 or 19v 120w would be a better choice. The 90w would mean fewer splitters and adapters which is important in such a small cases.
