I've ordered the MINI PC below but my order tracking page is saying that maximum power required is 56W and that I should consider upgrading my power supply. I don't undestand this, 56W does not seem a lot. Does the PC not simply come with a power lead to plug into the mains ?

well the case has no fans

that is an energy efficient processor

lower clocked ram

no graphics card which use a lot of power

smaller more efficient HDD

slim disk drive which reads/writes at lower speeds

make ssure to get silver warranty for a fiver btw

So you think I should be ok with just a normal PC power lead then ? Sorry to sound a bit slow on the uptake.
Thanks for the tip about the silver warranty by the way. I've added one to my order.

it will be fine just use the cable that comes with it, and dont use it maxed out when you have lots of USB devices plugged in and a CD
