I also have  a voltage regulator I use to plug the computer and moniter into.

I'll start with the easy part:
The maximum power consumption of the ViewPanel VG150 is 38W.

Now, I am not sure what you mean by 'smallest power supply available'
- but the smallest power supply I have seen in any modern desktop PC
is 80W. However you also mention the Hard Drive size, which isn't
related to the power supply, are you confused about something?

If I am right about the power supply, then the maximum power
consumption of your computer is 118W. The voltage regulator should not
draw any addition power itself.

If you were confused about the power supply however, please feel free
to request a confirmation and provide a little more detail about your
computer and I will happily revisit my figures.

Hi,

If you open the case of your PC, the wattage will most probably read
on your power supply. Monitor should also have its power usage written
at the back.
