The one I saw was 125W but I'm sure there's some beefier versions of it.

just google pico PSUs for a more broad look.

I see. So I could potentially use two, one for the graphics card and another for the rest of the system.
I think that might work.
I'll find out the power consumption numbers of the components to see if it'll work.
Why not look into a low power GPU? There are plenty of powerful options out there that dont require supplemental power (powered through the pci-e slot). They tend to be decently priced too.. plus run cooler.

Depending on what kind of graphical power you need and what your budget is, this could prove an interesting part set:

ATI FirePro 2450 (most powerful card I could find that would work with the PCIe x4 slot on the MBB):

hmm, looks good. I was hoping for something beefier. maybe i5 with a beffier graphics card. It would be great if I can find a diddy mobo like that thats beefier. I'll have a look on linitx and overclockers.
Ah, I know it's a shameful question, entirely against the spirit of modding ...
But I have to ask the OP: why not just get a laptop? Or at least use a laptop as your modding platform?
I have a laptop lol. I have thought about a laptop mobo for the basis, its not a bad idea. But then I'm limiting myself for the hardware like multiple hardrives and EPIC RAM(thats a technical term )
I maybe hoped to get an Alienware m17 mobo, but they are way too pricey considering I can get a decent enough desktop mobo for about £50 instead of £200.
Ok so If I use a standard graphics card, is there anyway I can mount it flat, adjacent to the motherboard?
The raisers that I have found all put the graphics card across the top of the cpu which is obviously not good.
Risers are available in different heights and for both orientations. You might have to look at the stuff intended for rack-server blades instead of "consumer" PCs.
My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.
