He is saying they are different and the power brick will determine peak power for the PSU part.

120W: PicoPSU-160-XT + 120W Brick + P4 extension + 2.1mm to 2.5mm adapter = $77

Oh, boy. It seems there's no end to how much you can mod. So now I see this post and I like the "completely silent" idea Nod

After following the links and looking for alternatives trying to put all the pieces together in my head, why the 2.1mm to 2.5mm adapter? From what I can see, the 2.5mm is on both ends, no need for adapter. What am I missing? Huh
Thanks!

EDIT: sorry, I was looking at another brick that came with 2.5mm The one up here is 2.1. My bad

You can get custom-made mounting plates here: http://outsidethestb.blogspot.com/

They fill in where the PSU would have been mounted in the case. The ATX ones can even come with an 80mm fan, say if the PSU fan would have been the only one in the case. There's an option for the single hole or the 3-hole like in your picture above. There's SFX size too.

I am using a couple myself -- one in an Apex MI-008 and another in a Lian-Li PC-Q07. Dig down through all the stuff and there's some pics of them.

Check this out....

Short-Circuit.com they are also on Ebay..... and look it's FREE ship here....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/picoPSU-150-XT-D...290wt_1399


I think this 150W Pico will work the best....

It has the P4 and it looks it will reach.....

and it wont dangle on the ISK-300......

I think this one is the winner.......

I won't say I told you so when the wiring harness melts because your AC adapter is 2A over spec. Smile

http://www.ebay.com/itm/picoPSU-150-XT-D...290wt_1399

Then if so what to get?

So from the ebay link above that Power Brick is 12.5A

it needs to be 10.5A?
