opus 120w - power in house

**SuzukiAerio** · 05-19-2007, 04:26 PM

I have a ITX set-up from opus. They put it together all nice and neat for me. I dont wanna take it apart to put a 120v (home) power supply in it to power it up and get my OS on it.

can anyone recommend something that will let me plug on to the Opus p/s and plug right into the wall for power?

thanks

They dont make a 12v regulator that puts out that many amps. Max they have is 1.5A.

A PSU is like $10. Then just do as DP said.

Probably not at radio shack, but you can get a DC power supply.
One that will put out the 10A you need will cost you a fair bit. An ATX PSU is far cheaper, and has more use than a DC power supply.

Yeah - When ever I see wireing diagrams it makes me nervous. I reviewd that whole thing and this thing is easy enuff to make that I am gonna just do that.

thanks for your patience guys
