So just disconnect from 300-65 and to the pico.... no need for other medications to the back of the case.
If it's possible.....

I don't think that the Antec 19V DC-In Plug has the same size as the PicoPSU 12V DC-In Plug (but I did not check, maybe I'm wrong)

Nevertheless.. the less interconnections the better, to remove the 19V Plug you only need to remove two screws, and the PicoPSU 12V plug fits perfectly in the hole (that's how I have it). My PicoPSU Power-wire is one piece thought (so it does not have two modules like the one you pictured)

I also removed the modular PATA/SATA plugs from the PicoPSU (I don't use them for anything).

I also advice you to remove the drive cage (if you don't need it of course). Air flows much better without it.

The case it's nice but it has two horrible design flaws. The first one is the included Power Supply. The length of the wiring is insane, and the cables are not even modular (so you can't remove the ones you don't use)

And the second one is the included fan. Is low-quality and way too pitchy, definitely not what you expect in a silent PC.

Ok.... now this is becoming more interesting.....

Everyone here is having a flaw with the included 65W (supposedly 135W) stock psu......

I am mad at Antec... (but why I got the trouble 3 weeks later) I'll be testing later with a 350W supply ........


deibit what pico did you buy and where?


Oppps yes there are two screws to get the old one of on the back of the case..... nice.....

Well its nice that we can change to a PICO and have no troubles with the installation.... HOLE is already there.....

Also....

Thats not cool ur stock fan is pitchy..... mine is not.... but you know you dont even need the fan cage in there.... why dont you try taking it off and do some testing with out it?

so remember i had the issue with my 135w a/c adapter not giving enought power? I ended up sticking the 250w power supply from a Apex MI-008 case I had laying around inside the Antec 300-65. It was a tight fit but it works; probably not safe tho.

I ordered the picoPSU 160XT and 192w a/c adapter earlier this week and it should be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully this will work and power my A8 3850. Will update tomorrow.

Cool.....

Man so your Apex supply works perfect? wow....

OK

the picoPSU-160-XT + 192W Adapter Power Kit you bought its the one Bluray on his link?
That one looks like the power plug will not fit the hole on the back of the case....
Let us know....
