[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 963592, member: 103549"] Used and abused pico PSU's they work, they fail [waiting for new one at the moment] - like full fat PSU's:) Your total power requirement, with 2 USB tuners & 2TB drive may be pushing limit on pico supply, depending on selection - would suggest if you can use your 500W unit to get figures on your usage in new rig before spending on pico AND the power brick (which can be rather more costly than the pico unit:-) Noted above, using the SSD for timeshift - ram disk is possibly a better option (as your fitting 8G..) - lower power (not much) but less 'wear' on SSD, which your using as large FIFO buffer (so lots of RW cycles). Sure we'll all be interested to hear how it all hangs together - you going to try for MePo 1.3.0 RC (released today)? Cheers - JCMP [/QUOTE]
