I'm gonna answer myself on this I got the 90W PS, and my Kill-A-Watt is reading 22-23 while idling, so the answer is no!
The 65W would be fine, but for 9 bucks for the larger PS which will withstand the CPU running at 100% usage, it was worth it to me. Who knows when good ol' Windows is gonna freak out and peg itself in the middle of the day or night while I have this thing running! I wanna be covered
Spent all nite reorganizing my entertainment center and finally have the PC set up.. Tomorrow I install XBMC!
