Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but I'm thinking of a similar build as a box for fiddling around in linux - what kind of power brick do you need for those pico PSUs? Should I just buy a universal 12v one?

Depends on how much power you need to supply.... so for 60Watts you'll need 12V * 5A = 60W

ie your 12V brick must be rated at 5 amps in other to supply 60W

So if you need more wattage you'll need more amperage

Don't they all have different connectors though? How do I know which will fit?
Thanks for the help

Hmm I must be a bit stupid because I found the case on the bay before but now can't, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Nice build btw, planning something similar myself

OP - Some more photos from all angles would be great if you can!

Are you guys serious ?

Might be worth while showing how it looks after 6 months uptime
