PicoPSUs

Am I missing something but they are really expensive for what they are.. :confused:

You can buy the connection bit for around £30 as people on here say but then you need to spend around another £30 to get the actual PSU/12v power adaptor bit. Is this correct? If that's the case then they really aren't £30...

(Just been looking into whether to buy a prebuilt nettop style thing or build my own...)

Exactly, and for that much you can get a proper Fanless PSU!

I see the point of them but they are just so expensive compared to normal ones, especially when people falsly suggest they are in fact only £30...

I have, just recieved a Zotac ND22 today, now I need to wait for the HDD and I have a nice little media box ready for less than £200!

TBH that isn't particularly high end system , if it's not overclocked then it may very well be within range of a Pico.
