Mini Box PICOPSU-120-WI-25 12-25V DC-DC ATX Power Supply
Cons:Depending on your use some extra cables may be required. Mini-box may overstate power requirements of your motherboard.

Pros:Space saving design, wide-input voltage range. Great for innovation and diy projects.
Comment:
I purchased a similar wide-input model from NCIX, the Mini-Box M3-ATX that is no longer listed on the NCIX website but won't be very different than this model (although it was quite a bit more expensive r $80 without ac adapter). After reading a review of all the mini-box psu I decided that the wide input models were the best choice because the 12 volt regulation is done on board the plug in psu rather than relying on the ac/dc adapter's regulation. What this means is that I can use any of the various ac/dc adapters on the market from a 12 volt car battery up to a laptop's ac adapter. The regulation also seems to be better on the wide-input models according to the Johnny Guru review. I'm using it with the ASUS E45M1-I DELUXE MB (very low power) and there is a space conflict issue with this MB layout limiting me to using only one of the memory slots ie 4GB but that's not an issue for me. A right angle or offset adapter from mini-box would be a nice solution though. It's a great psu for saving space in a small case. I'm very pleased with it.http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php? name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=207
