This one would support higher loads even if its cheaper?
picoPSU-120/10A 120W AC-DC
US $52.95
Than this one?
picoPSU-120/8.5A 110W AC-DC
US $55
And by the way, Sorry for the "pollution" on your post eskro
I think the difference there is the "quality" (however they are measuring that) of the AC adapter part of the combination. They also have their math wrong -- it's a 102W AC adapter not 110W. With quality, it is possible it could support a higher load if it's able to maintain closer to 12V at load than the other AC adapter. As load increases, 12V from the AC adapter tends to fall off. The ATX spec says +/- 5% is ok. The closer to 12V the better. But, I am only speculating. It could be name brand vs. generic, who knows. It's worth an email to ask why the 102W is better than the 120W.
