HDPlex Intros World’s Smallest ATX PSU
HDPlex announced what it claims to be the world’s smallest ATX power supply. Measuring 170 mm x 50 mm x 25 mm, this internal PSU is smaller than most 100 W-class laptop power-bricks, but packs a surprising 250 W of power output that’s sufficient for most HTPC builds. The PSU uses highly efficient GaN FETs in its switching circuitry, to achieve its power density, with the company claiming 94% efficiency. The PSU comes with a discrete AC receptacle on one end, and connectors for modular cabling, on the other. Cables include 24-pin ATX, 8-pin EPS, three SATA power, one Molex, and two 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors. 250 W not enough? There’s a unique feature that lets you sync two of these into a single unit, by combining their AC receptacles through a Y-splitter, and an ATX signal cable. HDPlex is pricing this at USD $145.
