[QUOTE="MegaPVR_Rack, post: 845442, member: 85602"] It is the most powerful they make, indeed there's the Pico-160-XT too but it's 2mm higher so it doesn't fit in my case which is slightly shorter than 1U standard (40 mm vs. 42). I use an FSP 150W external brick matched with it. Inside it doesn't heat up much and it has the P4 cable useful for 20+4/24+8 setups without sacrificing one of its 2 standard 5/12V sockets. A i3-2100 has a rather low power consumption despite having the same 65W TDP as other SB CPUs, paired with low power requirements of the H67 PCH it can be easily powered via Pico150 with power to spare for drives and cards, I think it could handle even 4x2.5" and 2x3.5" or a better CPU (like i5-2300) with ease. Only complaint the P4 and DC IN cables length is suited for ITX boards so on a (m)ATX board you have to use extension cables or in case place DC IN jack near the rear ATX ports like I did. Otherwise it works fine and doesn't take up volume inside which on small systems is welcome ;) [/QUOTE]
