20-pin is fine for APU......if you ever want to crossfire "AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics" in the future, you might run into problem with 20-pin........just a thought!
This one "PicoPSU-150-XT ATX Mini Power Supply + 108 W Adapter" have the round DC connector with 24-pin ATX connector......

Could anyone tell me if a picoPSU could power this set up:
Zotac NM10-FE with 2GB DDR2 RAM (http://www.zotac.com/pdbrochures/mb/NM10...5)_v1.pdf) XFX Radeon HD 6450 625M 1GB DDR3 2.5" SATA Hard Drive (Not SSD) Also would I be able to do 3D 1080p playback with that setup using openelec? Thanks. |

So, basically if we build the A6-PACK, but want to add a slim blu-ray or DVD burner, I need an additional molex to sata like this?
http://www.monoprice.com/products/produc...1&format=2 ![]() Having a hard time figuring this (from the pico90W specs) ![]() 2x peripheral connectors (1x 4 pin molex/IDE/PATA and 1x SATA) (so this would be the 4pin white crap, and a sata power for the SSD) 1x P4 connector (this would be for the mobo) |

For a slim blu-ray burner you need "Slimline SATA to SATA with LP4 Power Cable Adapter " that looks like this:
![]() The 2-pin molex on the cable connects to the 4-pin molex power on the picoPSU and the SATA cable to one of the SATA ports on your motherboard. The other end plugs into the bluray drive. I usually get mine from monoprice.com or Amazon.com, e.g.: http://www.monoprice.com/products/produc...1&format=2 --- Blog: http://outsidethestb.blogspot.com Website: http://www.ecosmartpc.com Looking for these? Realan E-i5, Realan E-i7, IWill HT80, IWill HT100, IWill S197-H80
