Electrical power for a 164LX ?

[Hoover, Tony]

A Power Supply for a computer will only draw as much as the computer is
using.   If you add up the power requirements for each of your components,
that will give you the baseline power supply that you should use, a larger
number isn't going to raise your electric bill.  That said, I don't think
I'd run an LX on less than a 300 watt power supply.  I believe that I am
using a 480 watt on my LX at home.

Hi everyone,

My electrical power unit for my Alpha has just died (well 24/7 during 7
years was good enough).

I would like to replace it and since it is always turned on, I want to
pruchase a not too big power unit.

My 164LX is equipped with 384 MB of RAM, two Ethernet network card, a
UltraWide2 SCSI Card on PCI 64bits and 2 SCSI hard-drive (at 7200RPM).

Is a 200Watts power unit enough (that's what I had but sometimes I think
I had drive failure caused by electrical "congestion") ? Should I go
for a 250Watts unit ? even more ?

Thanks in advance for any answer.
Sincerely yours, Mathieu MILLET.
