but it only says it will run on low power amd processors

Would recommend ITX-Warehouse if you're looking for a UK reseller - that's where I got mine from Smile

Plus they seemed very helpful by email if you need some help working out which is the right one for you.

I will do some further testing with Hi10p 1080p encodes this weekend.
I will also download the first bluray disc of fate zero (Fate Zero Blu-ray Disc BOX I (2011) AVC 1080p)

I never tried to run a PCI GPU......

jack0w I am not the only one with this problem.... several people are experiencing same symptoms as me.

Don't worry I will update my guide as soon as I figure out what is going on.
Yes the ISK 300-150 would be an option.....

But hook with the 300-150 you have to stay with the stock cooler? right? because you said the power plug it's in its way? so any idea what other after market coolers to use?
If people want to use an aftermarket cooler?

I will conclude my tests later on today.

Apologies beer, someone mentioned you were using a PCI-e card earlier in the thread - my mistake, should have checked!

The small Scythe cooler I went with (don't have model number to hand) fitted fine with the stock PSU in the 150 case.

It would be nice if you can fit the standard PSU in it.....it'll be more robust. I surfed the net last and I found this "High Performance Mini ITX Computer". He is using this "Topower 300W Mini ITX" PSU in a very similar case "300-150" as you. This one "New Flex ATX 1U 300W" have very similar size and it can be bought in UK.....

You may need to do some measurement to see if you have enough space in your case to fit it.......

Thanks Jack0w. But they only have the power brick and the 150w picopsu is not in stock

would this power brick

and the only place i have found the PicoPSU-150-XT in uk

http://www.logicsupply.co.uk/picopsu-150...e=co_uk_en

now will this both work without doing any mod like cutting the back hole to fit the power brick ?

If you want to stress it, you can try transcoding bluray movie in the background while watching another bluray movie......
