Help With Power Supply For This Proposed Build
#1
I am thinking this build should be great for a streaming windows box with Netflix.

I am not sure about the power supply in the way of watts needed, and what will actually fit in the case with this build.

While I am trying to keep the price down, I want a quality PSU that wont burn my house down.

Any input appreciated.

Below the link you posted several ML03LB owners posted their builds, and they included complete part lists....

A similar build with the ASRock FM2 mini-ITX board maxed out around 100W in my measurements using a Kill-a-Watt meter.

This is a nice PSU for the ML03B. It's a micro-ATX/SFX PSU but it has an adapter to fit the ATX PSU bay. The advantage it gives is it won't interfere with the optical drive (the PSU and ODD sit back-to-back).

The only caveat is you might need an extender for the ATX wiring harness.
