CES: Tiny picoPSU from Mini-Box is the World’s Smallest Power Supply

Smaller, faster, cheaper. That’s the technology mantra. And today here a 120 Watt power supply from Mini Box called the picoPSU. It’s about the size of 2 AA batteries. Best of all the price is nice: $50.

Compact design, less cables. The picoPSU-120 is the smallest snap-in ATX dc to dc power supply. The picoPSU is compatible with an entire range of mini-itx motherboards as well as regular boards. The picoPSU-120 provides a cool, silent 120 Watts of power for small PC designs using a single 12V power source.

By using Patent Pending HyperWatt[TM] technologies , picoPSU packs an impressive amount of power relative with its very small footprint. PicoPSU is fully ATX compliant, making it an excellent candidate for any silent, 12V DC-DC computer project.

Reduce space. Eliminate 20 unnecessary wires by plugging in directly into the motherboard ATX connector. The picoPSU 12V dc-dc ATX converter was designed from ground up to fit small form factor ATX boards, allowing enclosure designers to save space while not compromising power requirements.

Cool power. Operating at only 12V, the picoPSU dc-dc ATX power supply generates 120 Watts of power. picoPSU provides plenty of power (via ATX connector and HDD cable harness) for CPU and an entire range of peripherals.

100% Silent The picoPSU-120 mini PSU is a 100% silent dc to dc solution. No fans, no noise, just power for small and silent PCs.

picoPSU-120 is a fully compliant DC-DC ATX PSU. It can power VIA mini-ITX boards with C3 or C7 processors, P3, P4, Pentium-M, and AMD processors. picoPSU-120 ATX DC-DC converter is very small, measuring just 31×45x20mm, about the size of two AA batteries, picoPSU is also 1U ServerRack compliant.

    We have been awaiting an affordable DC-DC power supply for some time. They generally run in the $250US range. Though I question if 120 watts is enough.

    I might need one for the motherboard and a seperate one for the drives. $100 is still better than $250 though.
