Hi im looking for a cheap but small powersupply for this board,

Im making a case for a small but discrete media player to put in the lounge or eventually in my car. So keeping that in mind im looking for a cheap n cheerful psu

yeah but £60 for the psu and adapter seems a bit pricey. Im wondering if i could strip apart an old laptop to get a PSU.

See this is where i need some help, If i plumb that 12v into my car, which is technically floating at 13v ish and goes up and down a bit, would that be bad for the PSU?

Fair enough, ill sort it in after the power cap to stop the lows and whack a Vc regulator in.

cheers guys.
