For the DC-DC power supply I would recommend the HDPLEX 400w HiFi DC-ATX.


For the LZ7 case to be fully DC-DC compatible you will need to select the following options in the configurator:



Optional Top XL-Vent panel allows more cooling options when using DC-DC power supplies such as top mounted fans, or 120mm AIO coolers.




I would recommend the 19v Dell 330w AC-DC adapter, this is currently the best stock adapter available for high end builds (i7 + gtx 1070).  For mid level builds (i5 + GTX 1060) then the 19V Dell 250w will be sufficient.


The Dell power bricks are also compatible with HDPLEX DC-ATX units.


Please make sure you pick a genuine DELL adapter as there are counterfeit units on the market which will not output or sustain the full stated output wattage.




When using DC-DC power supplies the maximum CPU cooler height is 130mm, although this depends on your motherboard layout and where you choose to mount your DC-DC power supply inside the case.


I would recommend the Noctua NH-U9S in the following layout:
