ATX Power brick?

[millions1030]

Is there a device VERY similar to a laptop charger that can power regular desktop components. I want it to power a 6850 ONLY. Around 200W.

This is the first thing that comes in mind http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104054
There are other on the market as well.

pretty much a notebook charger with a standard molex connector.

Hi

If your tower power supply cannot power a 6850, you are in REAL trouble and that thing wont help...

He's not using it for that purpose, but I'll let him explain why... (Something I didn't even know was possible, actually.)

Yaea, I need the power brick for an external GPU solution for my laptop. I want to build an enclosure. And ATX PSU is too big.

Hi

You ARE kidding right ??

I own a laptop repair company and although its THEORETICALLY possible, its would be a huge amount of work...and I doubt you will ever get it working...

It's a PE4H. Passing PCI x16 to x1(Express Card) adapter. similar to a ViDock. It doesn't appear to be very hard. and My PC does appear to support it. I just wanted to know a good power solution. Thanks for the insight though.

And the HD6850 will be bottlenecked drastically by the X1 interface!

other ppl have used those nd 6970 and etc. what do u recoommend

I belief what you are trying to do would be cheaper and better just to build a budget gaming desktop since the portability really goes out of laptops when all these external devices start getting connected to them!
