First for /ZenIsComming/

Buying new PSU and GPU tonight when there's no delivery costs on mindfactory.

Is a semi/full Modular PSU basically required for M-Itx builds? They cost much more than normal PSUs and I'm on a pretty tight budget.

Is 550 watts enough for this?

unless you want cables errywhere, yes.

yup. the AMP! Extreme draws 250 watts max, so you even still have about 200 watt buffer left with a 550W psu

Depends on the case. If you want something roughly shoebox-sized then pretty much yes. You can usually stuff longer cables in there but they might mess with the airflow or cause your side panel to bulge out.

Neat. I have that PSU and the 0 RPM mode on it is amazing. Coudnt get it to move even with prime95 + valley benchmark at the same time.

I was thinking of getting either the Phanteks Enthoo or the Thermaltake V1, will I need a modular PSU for either of those?

Is the Asus PCE-N15 a decent wireless adapter? It's currently $15 on Amazon with a rebate, but for every review that says "4/5 pretty good" there's another that calls it a slow piece of shit that constantly drops its connection.

I don't know a goddamn thing about networking, is this thing alright?

This is what it'll look like with a nonmodular PSU. This one uses a 900W one though, a more reasonable 500ish watt PSU will have slightly less cables.

So it'll be snug and might not be pretty but it'll fit just fine. The whole "mitx requires nonmodular PSU" rule is for qt small boxes like DAN case. A shrunk-down proper case like those two should have enough space to tug cables away.
