Hey!
(I'm interested in the answer to
@GreatestUnKnown's question, too, so don't let me take away from that!)
I'm about to order one of the HDPLEX AC-DC units. I am going to use it to see if it's possible to figure out a way to jam it into one of my builds, and even if that doesn't work out I have another build (in a S4 Mini) with a low-profile video card that I'm sure it will fit. (As per
@Kmpkt's build.)
My question right now is: I'm looking at a 65W (or less) chip and a low-profile 1050 Ti (rated at 75W? it only uses PCI-e socket power) in my system, it seems like 'any' 160W would give me just the right amount of extra headroom for RAM and a storage drive. But, I wanted to ask if there was a particular power supply that made sense for this build.
I don't think I'll end up using any drives or devices that need SATA/Molex/additional power (storage will be M.2), but it's possible I do try to rig up some USB devices on the inside running off of the on-board headers.
Is the HDPLEX AC-DC unit right for this use-case? And what "DC-ATX"(?) board should I be using to distribute power this system?
