CASE: Morex 557
CPU: Celeron G540
MOBO: ASRock B75M-ITX LGA 1155
DRIVE: M4 SSD
FANS: Couple 40mm fans

Anyone know what would suffice for a PicoPSU? It's very confusing.

Also in the market for low profile CPU cooler!

Thank you!

What are the best PicoPSU + power bricks?

Anyone know how this is? http://www.amazon.com/PicoPSU-90-Adapter...B00316T5S8

This article is nice, but outdated... http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?nam...y&reid=207

If anyone has a link to a PicoPSU purchasing guide it would be appreciated.

Pico PSU- picoPSU-90/7.5A 90W AC-DC

I like the 90W power brick, unlike this which I almost bought. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00316T5S8/

Probably doesn't really make much of a difference though.

PicoPSUs aren't too hard to buy, but finding the right power brick is a nightmare. Based off that jonnyguru article, the power brick you choose is a big deal for optimum performance.

Do you own this cooler? Some of the reviews claim it is louder than stock Intel fan, yet others say silence is true to its name.

The NH-L9I looks tempting but it costs more than double!

Another consideration...

Scythe BIG SHURIKEN 2 Rev B. 5-Heatpipe Universal Low Profile CPU Cooler (SCBSK-2100)

The PicoPSU combo you shared is actually cheaper if you buy it from their eBay store.

If your case have room for it, Shuriken CPU cooler with 120mm cooler fan is better and quieter. Apparently, the same seller give better discount through eBay. For $5 saving, I would buy it from eBay.....

I love how the Shuriken engulfs the ITX board, but I'm not sure it will fit in the Morex 557. I hear excellent things about the http://www.amazon.com/Dynatron-T459-Profile-Active-LGA1156/dp/B006V5SZMI so I will probably go with this. It is just a Celeron after all and I think any low profile fan that fits and is quiet will be enough. Only $30 as well.

Thanks a lot for your input!
