Success!! I hooked up a 430w atx PSU, and the system worked flawlessly!!
I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding why even though my kill-a-watt is showing no more then 60w, a 120w brick is still not enough? Logically, a watt is a watt. system draws 60w, brick rated to 120w... Unless the Antec MD-135 is the limiting factor...
Beer: I'm curious to see if you have the same experience! Please post back with your findings!!
Bluray: Thanks for the recommendation on PSUs!
. I'm assuming since the isk300-65 is the same case as the isk300-150, I'll just need to cut out the access port for the PSU power cord, right? Or is there something else I need to do?
[EDIT] Just checked out your link. Does that unit mean I need an external power brick as well? I figured it would be an enclosed PSU (just smaller) like you would find in a regular ATX case (Can you tell this is the first time I've worked with a mini-ITX system??
