@Thehack Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Cool, I'll see if I get the chance to try it out.
I feel like a ssr tends to require quite a bit of space. I was thinking about using one of those cheap mosfet boards of ebay. they go for like 1 $ and are rated for 400 W with heatsinking even more.
@Choidebu Sorry, I was switching forth and back. You are absolutely right. The EPP-200-12 does not have this control circuitry and a much more complicated build would be needed.
I'm looking for a place to buy a decent PDCB, e.g. the picoPSU-160-XT as recommended in this thread. It will only be powering a 2400g (overclocked). But I can't find a shop which sends from within Europe, leading to high delivery costs. Does anyone know a shop? Would be perfect if it would be seated in the Netherlands .
I got mine for cheap off an eBay seller. I know a lot of eBay sellers ship international (or from China).I'm looking for a place to buy a decent PDCB, e.g. the picoPSU-160-XT as recommended in this thread.

And here again with a few questions. My picoPSU came in today and I ordered a Meanwell RPS-200-12-C. I looked at the wiring of the picoPSU and the examples of the first post of this thread and a few questions arose. As mentioned above I will only power a (overclocked) 2400G.
1.
A) Is it better to connect four of the six outlet pins of the meanwell to the mainboard EPS (4/8pin) connector and use the remaining two to power the picoPSU (which only has two input wires anyway).
OR
B) Would it be better to connect four pins of the meanwell to the picoPSU and power the mainboard EPS connector via the picoPSU (seems redundant)?
OR
C) Is it feasible to connect the meanwell and the picoPSU using two wires (of appropriate AWG, e.g. 16) and power the EPS connector via the picoPSU?
2. The cable to connect the picoPSU to the 4/8pin EPS connector has the two 12V+ and the two ground wires bridged, respectively (see image). I have never seen this on normal PSU's. What is the use of it? If I used method A, this wouldn't be necessary, right?
3. More a question out of curiosity, as I won't use the barrel connector. The barrel connector that comes with the picoPSU has only two wires soldered to it. Why are they still using all four pins of the mini-fit junior connector and even bridge these?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same question. Its really hard to find the other models here in Brazil but led power supplies are everywhere and they are fairly affordable.Hi
Can Meanwell LRS-150-12 be used as pc power supply?

Oh man! Do you have any pictures of a build showcasing that direct plug unit?Designed and built by the guy behind my risers.
Interesting I have no issues with my PicoPSU 160XT and EPP-200-12. It does take about 15-20 seconds after plugging in power before the CPU will boot, not sure if it has to charge some capacitors or something like that.@aquelito I had the same cold boot issues with my PicoPsu 160XT powered directly from EPP-400, fans and stuff would start but wouldn't post. With my Archdaemon I no longer have boot, cold boot, sleep issues of any kind. It is still powered directly from EPP-400. For why it works I have no idea, some part of Gury's design handles it better I guess.
My EPP-400-12 is always on, it isn't synced with my archdaemon.
Edit: does your EPP-400 have coil whine at no loads / extremely low loads? Mine does, in sleep mode, or when the PC is off, or with no load.
