Hey Y'all.
I'm working on a project with a gutted Macintosh Classic. There's enough room for an ITX board, so I was thinking I'd toss a 3400G based system inside and power it with one of those slim PSUs - because there isn't really room for an SFX PSU inside or any need for it, since I'll be running it with just the iGPU, 2x8GB RAM and an NVME for emulation.
That's as far as I've come though - I have zero experience with these tiny form factor PSUs, SFX in a Sentry 2.0 case is the smallest I've ever done. I've looked at the Pico 160-XT as well as HDPlex as possible solutions. Since I won't be using any kind of GPU or HDD, I figured it might be possible to adapt the Molex output of either of these to work with the LCD adaptor board (shown in the gallery below) which requires 12V 4A to drive it using a DC plug.
Quick overview of the project and size allowances.
