Umm have you tried eBay?

[marss]

I would like to buy from someone of this site, and, if unsuccessful, it will be Ebay.

I don't know it they will power all that or not.. I never had good results with them. I really would avoid picos if possible. You may have to ask around other forums to see what people are using.

Be aware that if you buy from eBay you probably won't get a genuine Pico PSU.

You may buying a cheap Chinese copy, and whilst you will get it cheaper, that could buy you a device that is unreliable and might even kill your machine.

A genuine 160 watt Pico PSU will cost you €45, not the €18 you'll find them for on eBay, that cost reduction can come at a price.

I'd suggest if you want to go down that route, you should really consider calculating the power needed before buying to avoid disappointment.

@rubberjohnny... thanks for the advice
maybe a model you would suggest?

Get a wide-input model like this: http://www.mini-box.com/PicoPSU-120-WI- ... wer-supply

It will take an input of 12-25V instead of just 12V. This usually results in a cleaner output. Also, it allows you to use the huge selection of 19V laptop chargers with it. 120W should be enough for your needs.
