Hi
I'm interested in getting the Dynamo.
My question is that with this combo does it provide 360+160= 520 capability?
Also do I still need am external power brick? Which brick would you recommend as dell only goes up to 330w?
And is there anyway to skip the external power brick?

Thanks a lot!

Yes it does provided you have an AC-DC brick/converter than can produce 520W or more of DC power.

And is there anyway to skip the external power brick?

You can hook the Dynamo 360 up to the HDPlex 300W AC-DC and the Dynamo Mini up to an HDPlex 160W AC-DC and put both internally if you'd like for a 460W solution. I am currently working on a merging unit that would let you use two 300W AC-DC units together to power the whole thing as well.

Hi

I'm new to SFF power supplies. I recently purchased the Dynamo 360 + Mini160 kit and was wondering if I can run a single dell 330W (7.4mmx5.0mm) brick adaptor straight from the Dynamo 360 while the Minii 160 is connected to it? What type of wattage output can i expect from this setup?

Thanks in advance

The wattage is determined by the AC-DC brick, so the max wattage of your system will be 330W. With respect to how to wire, you are correct in that you would run the AC-DC unit into the Dynamo 360's DC-IN header and then attach the Dynamo Mini to the Dynamo 360s DC-OUT header.

Thank you for the quick clarification =)

Sorry last question. Does the combo kit come with two sets of cables one for each device?

Thanks again
