That's right I forgot....had to cut the bracket. Which reminds me, I still have to send back the BigShuriken that I bought originally! ...and Y the focus on PICO with this build? I see it as extra components that will add to cost. CASE + BRICK + PICO = extraaa $$$$$ Is that really the best way to go? With regards to Beer40oz, the PICO psu seems like the only option for him since he cannot RMA his case.

@Beer...
with regards to cost efficiency, is the PICO PSU really something to recommend with your build, if so, please enlighten us NooBs. One poster mentioned the efficiency of the stock PSU in the ISK300-150. I also am confused by this statement! When plugged into my UPS, the total power consumption my build draws is 43w leaving lots of room for upgrades if i decide on adding a slim BD burner or something like that.. I believe all of us who have adopted this awesome HTPC have similar components,i.e, SSD Y CPU.

Regarding PSU efficiency look at post #89 & #117

I can also share from my own experience running Prime95 this is the max wattage that was being drawn using stock PSU - 80w vs PicoPSU - 67w.

Playing a 1080p movie the max wattage being drawn using the PicoPSU was 43w, unfortunately I forgot to note this measurement for the original stock PSU (or I lost the bit of paper it was written on!) so am unable to compare directly.

Bottom line is I saw an improvement in power consumption from using the PicoPSU, not massive, but a definite improvement. That, losing another fan in my build, better airflow and ability to secure it to back of my case without drilling holes was enough to convince me. Smile


Cool thank you for this!

I will use this on my guide.....
