If you want a cheap one, I've had good luck with the "Kinamax 72W 12V 6A adapter for LCD monitors" available on Amazon.
Just know the maximum amperage rating of the 5.5mm barrel jack on the picoPSU is 8.5A (102W / 12V). If you need more, get the 4-pin mini-DIN connector from mini-box and get a 4-pin power supply that matches. IIRC, they sell the 4-pin mini-DIN "mini-fit JR" jack separately. That'll only get you 18W more though so not sure it'd be worth the hassle.
I'll have a few new 84W 12V AC adapters available soon.

Indeed, it would defeat the whole silent purpose of buying the thing. The flex psu of the Lian Li that I bought is too much for me already (as well as the electrical saving as I have it on 24/7) so the one I posted earlier seems to be without any fan.
I see from that thread that I may need the molex to p4 cable. Why the hell don't they include this in the item? I hadn't even realised the molex connector.
Thanks a lot guys.
