It says "Power to the board is supplied by an external 12V power supply (not included)." OK so it uses a propietary power supply, but it's not included? :rolleyes: So if it's not included what do I buy, where do I buy it, and how much will it cost? It's not a carputer or anything, just being powered off a standard in-house American power outlet.
 
I could be wrong but I thinks its somewhat the same thing you would get if you bought a router. One end is black about 3 1/2 in wide and plugs into the wall and the other end is a male end that plugs into the mobo.

I have been curious about this my self. I have a feeling I am wrong.
 
Looks like I am right. look at the far bottom left of the picture. EDIT: Nevermind its not letting me insert a picture. First time to try at this forum.

Or any power brick style converter. It has a built in DC/DC converter, so it requires an DC supplying source.

This TC-10000 was generaly designed with a "run off USB" or IDE powered DiskOnChip setup in mind. You will have to buy an additional power supply to run any standard type of hard drive or optical drive.

I would recomend any of the other ITX boards such as the M10000 in conjunction with a mini ITX powersupply.

Yeah, I realzied that shortly after posting this. I decided to go with the fanless ML 600, and the Morex Cubid 3667. Thanks.
 
Any standard PSU will plug right in and power it. If you are trying to keep it small look at the Morex 80w PSU w/ AC adaptor.

The price listed is definately not the best but the link will show you what you need. You could get away with the 60W but it would limit what you can add on to the board. ie. DVD burner, a bunch of USB devices, extra HD, etc. Hope that helps ya.
