Re: DC to DC PSU project.

I was reading about the pico psu and it looks like that the +12 volt feed comes directly from the DC source you use. So if your brick is not the bet quality it may fry your motherboard.

Now this bad boy here seems to be a better design. It delivers 130 Watts continuous and still small enough to be used with a ITX mobo on a very small system.

Looking at the pictures it does not look like rocket science to design and build something around this idea.....

Hey folks. I was unable to find a DIY tutorial for a dc to dc power supply so I decide to open a tread here and see if i can get some help.

With today's energy efficient APUs we don't need a 500 watts to run it, so why we can't find a decent 150 watts low profile PSU out there?

I was looking at the "pico psu" but they are overpriced.

If enough experienced people decide to jump in, we can design a very good and affordable unit.

So, what you guys think? Lets do it?
