[SOLVED] Power for X7-ATX 500W Pico

[Ghodula]

Does anyone know how I can power this?
I DON'T want AC power. It's being fitted in a boat, so I just want to power directly from a DC source.

So I don't want to buy 2 Dell or Hp power bricks just to chop the connectors off. The only 7.4X 5mm connectors I can find are only rated to 65w.

If you look at this post -- https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/best-way-to-implement-pico-box-x7-atx-500.654/#post-13704 It seems to me that the board with the barrel connectors is just a pass through to the 4 pin connectors. As the poster in that other thread says, just replace as desired.

Then use your boat's battery.
