help finding a psu for diy project

[nathensalewski]

I'm looking to to build a new PC with the old parts i have laying around my home. my goal in mind is to make a small PC that i can bring to a friends house or up to my cabin in a backpack. i will be making the case myself so size or type shouldn't matter, but remember smaller will help the build turn out the way i want it. i only need like 200 to 250 WATS, and cheaper is better, and i don't want anything that is going to ruin my parts or fail on me. THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO HELP ME

I'm not sure as I've never looked closely enough. If it's made by AcBel? Yep. Made by Delta or FSP? Probably not gonna kill your system.

That's an ATX PSU not SFX

SSP lineup is great, according to professional reviews
