The PSUs are sized for the configuration. You can find PSU wattage size calculators on the Internet.
And, no, 80 watts is nowhere near enough for motherboard, processor, memory and a hard drive. Mac Minis use very low power components that you wouldn't use in a desktop computer.

Oh, ok. I just found an article somewhere about projected power needs for components are usually overkill now that PSU's are rated 80+ now? Not entirely sure what it all means, but if I don't need to use a 650w psu and can get away with a 400w, that saves a bit of space you know? Is there anybody that has used a modded xbox 360 psu? Is there a forum on that maybe? I'm an electrician, not an electronics guy, so this is all very new to me.
BTW, thanks for the quick response!!
