Samples are due to be ready in June. I have asked for both 12V and 19V variants and will be having them brutally stress tested before I even think of ordering anything. I'd say end of Summer at the earliest.
Where could one find adapters like this today? For other projects...Pretty sure it would be easy to provide a 4 pin DIN to 4+4 EPS adapter cable for these use cases. Will put that on the radar.

I'm not sure if these are GaN adapters or not, but there's a good chance they are. A little larger, but slimmer form factor.
Dimensions: 160L x 78W x 25.4H (mm)

No, likely not. They have crap ripple specs. So, very noisy specs means they can make it smaller.
Since you're all in into the AC-DC setup, I suggest you to buy the 330w one. It's R$29 more expensive than your main choice, but you have headroom for any power peaks your setup is able to reach.Hello! I just bought an HDplex 200w DC-ATX and i was looking for a good 180~300w AC-DC power supply. Thank you guys for sharing this informations.
I'm from Brazil.
I think i'll buy the Dell 240w Slim power brick from website:
Carregador Dell - 240 Watt | Dell Brasil
this one costs R$ 400 ( around $ 85 )
There is also this slim model:
Carregador Dell - 240 Watts (barrel 7.4mm/modelo E5) | Dell
this one is R$ 100 more expensive ( around $ 21)
Which one should I buy? Recommendetions please?
Thanks guys !!

Thanks for the size comparison. The Dell is 155mm x 76mm x 30mm if that helps.

GaN stands for Gallium Nitride which is a replacement for Silicon based materials in power systems. The simple way to look at it is that GaN based units will (as technology improves) allow MUCH smaller AC-DC units than are currently available. It also allows much higher levels of efficiency (the unit I am looking at is rated at 95% typical efficiency while the HDPlex 200W AC-DC is rated for 85% efficiency). The unit I am hoping to offer would be one of the first GaN based AC-DC adapters to hit the market at > 65W.
Longer term I would love to be able to offer "micro bricks" with a wattage of 150-200W @ 12V that are summable at the DC-DC unit (ie. up to three units could be summed) and are approximately the size of 2.5" SSDs. GaN will hopefully make this an eventual reality.
Hi, take a look at this one:
200watt 20v GaN Switching Power Supply (Gallium Nitride)
200 Watt GAN Power Supply 20V 10Amp, Ultra small power supply with Huge power output. What is GaN? Gallium Nitride is a stable wide bandgap semiconductor material with high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, Gallium nitride has demonstrated the capability to be the displacement technology...www.coolgear.com
200W GaN ~$90
