recently picked up a clone full size AT desktop case. This form factor has always given me the warm and fuzzies so i decided i'm going to do my pentium 233 demoscene build in it.

Unfortunately, finding a full size AT PSU that will properly fit an IBM XT/AT cutout is difficult.

If I should find a PSU, how many watts will i need to drive it?

the machine will have
- full size super socket 7 motherboard with either a pentium 233mx OR a K6-2 500.
- CD ROM
- 5.25, 3.5" floppies
- generic pci VGA
- IDE hard drive
- GUS MAX.

I'm not sure what the current draw will be, and a lot of older power supplies i'm coming across are only like ~130-150 watts.

I have no clue what I'm doing! If you want to watch me fumble through all my retro projects, you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrDavejustdave
