Was thinking about building a system with this box: Mini-Box M200 Barebone System I had a couple questions if anyone is interested in answering them. [LIST=1] I was planning on staying with the base 80watt PS. Is there any reason to bump up to a more powerful one? The power adapter comes in a couple of different flavors. Is more than 5.5A useful? I was planning on using the Jetway NC92-N330 motherboard, 2GB RAM, 160GB SATA HDD, and the 1x Gigabit module (to gauge power consumption above). [/LIST] This system would run me (before shipping) about $300 which is about $100 cheaper than what I'm currently using. Thanks, -Bob

you need at least two nics for ASL to work. otherwsie the base default should be fine..5.5a should be more than sufficient.

That looks like one of the older Atom boards... there are faster ones now which would use less power.

e.g. the Atom D510 system listed at

Yeah, I thought about using the D510 board, but then I couldn't use the LAN module.

Good to know that the D510 board is faster than a dual Atom board. Thanks for letting me know.
