Some of the guys in the media-player-machine thread I mentioned in my |
| 7 |
reply to rich0, have killawatt meters or the like. Many were actually |
| 8 |
running on a 90W supply, with measured wattage topping out at about 50. |

I rather suspect the quad-port NIC will double that, but certainly that |
| 11 |
250W that newegg was bundle-offering should cover it, and a 120W or so |
| 12 |
/might/, tho I'll definitely do more research on quad-port-NIC power-draw |
| 13 |
before I go much below 250. |

I do like the size of that small case on newegg, and the card profile |
| 16 |
(another thing I was worried about that I checked, tho just with the one |
| 17 |
card so far) would fit, but it does have less ventilation than I'd like. |
| 18 |
It should certainly be "enough"... with fans... but it might be noisy. |
| 19 |
Passive would be nice, but that'll likely mean bigger/heavier/costlier. |
| 20 |
But a somewhat larger (relative to mITX anyway) case should be easy |
| 21 |
enough to stick a few larger/slower/near-silent fans in... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This is, however, one reason I tend to do my case shopping at frys. For |
| 24 |
something like that, I like to be a bit more touchy/fealy before buying |
| 25 |
than inet purchases allow. |
