Power output of this PSU

[bloodline]

I'd be genuinely surprised if a complete effica system required more than 60watts...

You're probably right. But I don't want to overload it and risk damaging the PSU.

I'll bet your existing supply will do the job just fine! If it doesn't I'll buy you a new one :-D
 

Like the new avatar BTW!

Hahahaha, Cheers! Just keeping my Avatar up to date :-)

Still no news yet on how the edit is going... I hope it turns out ok :crazy:

Deal! I suppose I can just try it and quickly unplug it if it looks like it's not working...

I'll bet your MacBook doesn't draw more than 50Watts... and that's a much more powerful system with a display and battery!

I'm sure it will be great. I can't wait to see it!

Well, We've not been called back for reshoots, so I guess the director is happy with the footage!!!

Looks like you're right! I just cut off the plug from the IDE -> USB adapter's own PSU and wired it on to the 12v and GND lines on a molex extension. When I fired up the EFIKA with the adapter powered off of the PW-200-M's hard disk power connector it worked perfectly! What is even better is that my 4.5A 12v PSU which is feeding the PW-200-M fits nicely inside my lego case, meaning I can just have an IEC mains socket on the back :-D

Brilliant! :-)

Now, have some fun with it... I must dust off my old Mini-ITX board... it's not been used in a while... I've just been too busy :-(

Like I said: Next stop Eastenders :-P

Hahaha, I was going to say my acting is probably too wooden... but actually, it's probably not wooden enough! :-D
