Power supply Help

[Pie972]

I've been thinking about building a PC inside a original Xbox Console. the problem i have with doing this is finding a way to put in a power supply. one option i had was an external power brick but i cant seem to find one that will support high watts.

well, if you can get a power brick like this, you will have 240W to work with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-Dell-Alienware-M17x-M18x-240-Watt-Laptop-Power-Supply-Adapter-PA-9E-/391421196137?hash=item5b22857769:g:00oAAOSwq19XC6SA

there might be 300W versions around. tie this with this,

and you could pull it off, note that this is on the expensive side.

although 240W is not much, considering the 6700K has a TDP of 91W ( as does the 6600K, but that one will probably not break 91W, whereas the i7 will.)


that leaves 140 for the GPU and everything else which means at the end of the day a 100W or so GPU can be used, so a RX 470 could be a tight fit, or a GTX 1060 ( another tight fit ) a 950 might be a better move, or wait for a 1050.

this is my idea as to how to solve the space issue for the power supply, fitting the card and everything else I am not sure, but this method would leave as much space as possible for everything else.

If you want to do this please research the heck out of it first, while this should work, I do not want anyone setting a house on fire on my word.
