Hi

I'm thinking of using the Silverstone SG08 for an HTPC. However, the 600W PSU is obviously unnecessary.

Apart from the waste of money and probably extra heat, do you see any major drawbacks (say, in terms of efficiency) with a 600W PSU in an HTPC, with actual power usage between 50W and 150W?

No gaming.

Your feedback, please!

I had my htpc in an itx rig with a picopsu 90. during video playback I was running about 30w from the wall with the pico psu. With an ocz modxstream 500w im pulling around 34w from the wall with the same usage. So I would say the difference in negligible
