I recently got the 5350 along with the Asrock AM1H-ITX. I was looking at this and the Intel J1900, but ended up going with this because the motherboard comes with the built in DC power jack and 4 sata ports. Spent a couple days switching from a 95w tdp cpu + integrated graphics mobo to this 25w SoC. Running Lubuntu 14.04 and XBMC, and it's been performing greatly.
I was wondering if anyone knew what the wattage is of the build in DC power input. I know there's only 1 sata power output and I was kind of unsure about getting some kind of 4x1 splitter and powering it all from the DC connection. I saw the manual listed 2x ram and 2x sata as working, but suspiciously there's nothing higher than that.
Also, I found this refurbished 90w AC adapter on Newegg made by Targus for about $12. It's technically 19.5 volts, but that should fall within the range of 19v +-10%, or 17.1 - 20.9 volts. No guarantees though. I'm not sure if any of the tips will fit yet and I'll update you guys on when it comes, but I've been using a similar Lenovo adapter with 19.5v and 120w with no issues. I know it's refurbished and maybe not exactly what most people will want, but it's from a brand name and I'm assuming higher quality than some of the cheap stuff on ebay, etc.

Quick update on the Targus adapter. It fits the DC input using the "P" head. Works with no issues so far and it feels sturdy.
