I have already posted this question on another Mod forum, but with no responce, hopefully you guys can be of more help! Currently in the planning stages of a mod that will involve a VIA EPIA-N5000EG Nano-ITX Mobo (or at least another similar Nano-ITX Board). Here is a link if no one knows what im on about:

and im wondering what PSU to use. Im currently looking at the picoPSU-120 but im not sure if it will actually fit properly after i had a look at the motherboard and the PSU connections... Is this true if anyone knows for sure? If it is true, what should i use instead, as this is a NANO not a Mini board. Here is a link to the PSU:

For those that are interested, i won't be buying off mini-box as its in america, so i just information on the parts, not shop advice :)

thanks in advance,

Ebio

Mini-itx recommends the pico-psu or an adapter for an ATX connector.

So looks like yes it'll fit.

Mini-itx is based in the UK (not sure where you are). Service has alway been good for me.

The Nano has a 12 pin power connector, you'll need the included adapter cable to use the Pico or any other ATX PSU.

I got the 90W picoPSU, and it's more than enough for my NES PC with an Intel Atom 1.66Ghz mini ITX board with 1 SATA HDD and a DVD burner. The 90W one has the +12V P4 connector, 1 molex, and a SATA power plug.
