90W is plenty. If you want to use i7, you should look for other cases; this is meant for small office work / htpc applications. Put an i3 in there, you will be happy.

By keeping the PSU at 90W, they also made sure it was a bit smaller as well. Nobody wants one of those huge bricks, almost the size of this case, on their desks. If you do, there are plenty of replacement PSU’s out there, get one of them.

Agreed. 90w is too low. Ivy Bridge may peak high during boot, but then runs much lower.

Thanks for your review. Also like this case and it looks as if Antec has no plan to upgrade it. They have other other 150 W chassis in their product line.
Do you think one could replace Antec power supply with a pico PSU 160 xt power converter and its external brick?
Alternatively, do you think a 45W Core i7-3770T would be sustained by the untouched enclosure and its standard power supply?
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Thanks for letting us know about that PSU. Antec needs at least a 125 watt power supply for HTPC peeps.
