PSU smaller than Micro-ATX
« on: May 19, 2007, 01:55:11 PM »
Is there a power supply which is smaller than Micro ATX? I have already tried the PicoPSU inverter board but it doesn't supply enough current for the machine I need to power, but a Micro ATX power supply is too large to fit in the case I am using.

Thanks Rich. Not sure that will provide enough current and it is quite expensive, but I'll look in to it. Any other suggestions anyone?

Cheers

How small is small ? (cm or inches what ever floats your boat).

Well, a mATX PSU is 125mm wide x 80mm high x 102mm deep. The height is ok for my needs, but it's a bit too wide and a bit too deep.

@Zac
That PSU you linked to is what I've already got, and it's too big. The HP Brio PSU would fit but woudn't be powerful enough. Looks like I might need to get a new case :-(
