going to change my psu on my mini-itx box to a 'pico-psu' fanless style unit.
from what I've read, the 'wide input' ones are the ones you want; they regulate the 12v line as well as the others. the non-WI ones depend on the 12v brick being accurate, which sounds like a risk to me.
if I go WI, I can choose a 12v psu brick or even 19v laptop style. I'd like to get 90w or more from it, just in case I run a lower end i3 or i5 someday from this.
what I would like to have is a rec. from users on the power brick. browsing amazon, I read a lot of complains about poor quality in the bricks and that's my experience, too. they are all made to low end standards and last a short time, only.
are there ANY good ones out there? I don't mind paying extra and I'd like a real honest U/L rated one, if possible.
can anyone point me to one that is trustable? do they even exist, anymore, or are they all 'take your chances' quality?
(should be 8amp or higher, just for extra headroom in future cpu choices.)
