It's a 4pin mini-din connector, you can get them from Element14 (ex-Farnell) in Sydney:

Jaycar's got them too:

I would have loved to see the case an inch taller or so to fit an internal TV card, maybe using a riser card. Yes, I could use a USB TV receiver, but having all the components inside the case makes it so much cleaner. Now it's just a half-arsed solution for a fully-featured HTPC.

Don't worry, that'll be plenty of power for your system.

Might be the board. Do you have access to a different 1156 board to test with? I had to RMA my H55N-USB3 due to a non-working audio chip. The replacement board is ok now. I wouldn't be surprised if a different board works well with the rest of your components.

can't agree more, the P150 is an awesome little box! I won't swap mine for anything else.

I agree that something with the power supply (either the Picopsu or the brick) seems to be not right. However, the next best thing after checking with a different brick (which seems to be a bit difficult for the OP) is to reduce power consumption of the system. Replacing a 3.5" drive with a notebook...

It might be worth trying a different hard drive. 7200 rpm notebook drives use a lot less power (approx. 5W for spin-up) than their 3.5" counterparts (~20W for spin-up).

I'm running an i3 530 on a Gigabyte H55N-USB3 with two drives (SSD - Vertex 2 + 320 Gig Notebook drive) plus a Compro E900F on a 120W PicoPSU connected to a no-name 90W brick from eBay and the system powers up, no issues.

Hi, I'm in a similar situation (looking for a tiny tower case fitting just a bunch of drives and an Atom board) for my WHS project. The closest thing I could find is a Rosewill box on Newegg.com. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147111 It seems to be very reasonably priced (o...

...doublecheck. Let me doublecheck this for you - why not just "check"?

I've bought a 12V/10A power brick on eBay for my 150XT. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-12V-10A-Adapter-Power-Supply-for-LCD-monitor-Cord_W0QQitemZ260380740803QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3c9fe6ccc3&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177&_trkparms=|293:1|294:50 The plug fits perfectly and the brick do...

woohoo, third post! OK, here's the link:

Don't worry, I've just build myself one using the forum post in the link below. I got a generic IR receiver diode from Jaycar for less than AU$8 and it works like a treat.

Yeah, that'd be fine for me as I'm leaning towards a 150XT. I'm currently running an Intel DG45FC + E5200 combo with a 2.5" drive and a DVD burner attached. So I don't anticipate the system drawing more than 100 Watts, even on startup. But correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm always happy to hear opion...

Kahuna, what's your experience with those power bricks from eBay? I'm also on the hunt for an affordable brick, but I'm a bit concerned that they either get quite warm or make high pitch noise (or even worse - both). You think they're ok?
