Just pointing this out: the linked unit is only a DC/DC Module (with horrible efficiency to boot). Hope you don't plan on trying to run it on AC power.
I may or may not have over specced the board and it may or may not work with some active cooling.
Sent a kit to Josh at NFC. Hopefully he likes it.

I stocked some GST280A12-C6P, 250W external brick.
It'll serve as a lower priced alternative to the HDPlex 400 for the S4M. Brick + DC ATX is $200ish. Vs hdplex $230. But the total consumption is reduced to 250W continuous. Currently there's no option between 160W and 300W so this is a nice alternative. It is also much smaller and easier to build than the hdplex 400.
I am sample testing right now to make sure they work safely.

Yes. The 400W kit will come late this year.
Are there going to be two different distro boards then? Or are you just referring to the actual 'kit' bundled with different connectors and a 400w AC/DC unit?
I use the term loosely.
Just means different ac-dc will be stocked.
I won't be stocking 400W internals until I design a case that can house it
Missing some marketing materials but it is up for now. I'll be doing a how to video this weekend, updating more pics, etc.
Is it? I think I need to raise the prices a bit then...
It's about $90 per kit if you go kit it out.$45 for just the board. Which is also viable if you're a modder.
To be clear, full disclosure I also lack safety certifications. DC-DC products certification is generally not required, but HDPLEX I believe certifies theirs.

Please don't.
I'll just be getting the board, as I already have a picopsu 150XT, and a 450W 12v psu. Way more affordable than HDPlex.
I don't think anyone was expecting or wants certifications; they raise cost.
