ok heres the deal...im want to put a "VIA EPIA MII 12000 Compact Flash and Cardbus PCMCIA Slots" into an n64...the problem im having is that i cant find a powersupply that will fit....i have about 5cm height clearance for the computer....the reason that i want that mobo is so i can boot from the flash card...i want as few moving parts as possible...any suggestions would be much appreciated..........

just another thought...the EPIA-800 PLE133 would do ok...then i could use one of those snap in power supplys....and boot from a flash key from the back of the computer64.......

anywho....thanks for the future help!

I think the PicoPSU would do it for your enclosure:

would the pico psu operate the mobo, plus 1-2 fans??? sounds kinda stupid i know but i dont know how many watts a fan takes up...how many watts the psu takes up, etc... btw, this would be my 1st mod ever, so im kinda a newbie....built a comp. before, just not in a "custom" case...

how about a wifi card??? the mobo has one slot open...would like to be able to go wireless.......
