Power Supply Eurocom 780W external power supply

Also it look freaking massive..... there comes a point when you're paying nearly $500 for a huge power brick that you have to ask yourself - what is the point?

It's a fine looking bit of engineering, but I also have to question the cost and potential size.
OK, you're potentially making your case small without an internal 'traditional' PSU (ATX/SFX/TFX/Flex) but have to cart round a monster like this too, if you're on the move.

PCGamer has the scoop on price and a video of it being opened, the connectors and the LCD display:


$475

Looks like dual 40mm fans at least.

Even smaller. It's supposedly 1.5" tall, which is about 38mm. With 0.5mm steel all around, 35mm fans would fit comfortably. Doesn't make it any better, though.

$475

There is such a thing as "too expensive".

Fan looks to be a Protechnica MGT3812XB-W28. So possibly one of these two:

13,000 or 15,000 RPM

MOD BREAK:

Moved second topic about this item to the original one.

Thought this was super cool especially for providing loads of power in a super small form factor. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Eurocom-announces-780-W-external-PSU-for-notebooks.196400.0.html

These guys are resellers of Clevo/Sager notebook models based out of Canada.

Given it can power a super high end SLI setup, would there actually be a way to get it to power one given that something like a HDPlex could only supply just under half of it's overall power (as far as I can tell). Also you would need all the connectors that you don't normally have from a pico psu

 

[Reldey]

Would anyone happen to know the best way you could possibly connect the 4 Pin cable to the 6 pin HDPlex input?

I think a power brick should be preferably sealed and definitely not have any fans, let alone 2 40mm. Power bricks are going to be sitting in very dusty/dirty and/or airflow restricted places, and the inside of the PSU will get filled up with dust in a few months. It will be very loud under load too, in addition to the noise from a gaming laptop. Make it bigger and passive. Otherwise, this is just a server PSU that they put a screen and a different plug on.
