Thread: DC-DC car power supply for ITX case

Outstanding news! Is there any special model number or such that should be referenced when calling? And was there any mention of shipping charges?

No specific model number.

I first looked at the website and looked at the specs for almost all their notebook adapters one by one. (Took a while!!) Then I called them (should have done that first) and asked if they had something like I wanted. They said they did not carry one like that but they have custom built units with these specs in the past and it would be no problem.

I was asked about the size of the connector I needed so they could put it on. That's why I haven't ordered one yet, because I can't figure out the size. (Any help on this would be appreciated - it's the cupid case with the external (obviously) PSU).

I don't know about shipping. About 2-3 days lead time to ship though.

The $99.95 price seems to be standard for most of their models.

Another interesting product on their website:

A shutdown timer

mrandery, could you ask about a group purchase for a qty of 10 or more?

I'l call them on Monday and post what I find out. First I need to know the size of the connector. If I can't find out, I'll have to put in a new one to fit.

I'm interested too. I'm about to put together an ITX system using one of the Morex cases...this is just what I need.

Here's the info I found on the supply that comes with the Cubid cases:

In Mini-ITX's review of the case, they provided a link to ILAN, the manufacturer of the AC-DC supply. I did some digging on their site, and found this PDF: http://www.eps-biz.com/pdf/F19603A.pdf

The link I found was busted, but I hacked the URL - it looks to be the real deal. Go to the 9th page....w00t!

5.5x2.5 or 5.5x2.1 (mm), positive in the middle, ground on the outside. I think that's what we needed.

Perfect. I'll call them tomorrow first thing.

I went to Radio Shack and tried on some of their "Adaptaplugs" to figure out a fit and found that a plug that was 5.5mm/2.8mm fits, so this must be correct.

Rip the sucker open and post the parts they use will ya?

I am working on a power regulator for this myself but I have not managed to get the damn thing working yet. I wired it up 3 times on my breadboard tonight and something is amiss. I think I have a bad component somewhere.
