    Via Epia and/or iDOT iBOX ITX - use laptop DC-DC supply?

    Anyone tried this, found one that will work? I asked iDOT and am awaiting a response.

    That's basically what it is. If you could find a 12V 4.6A DC-DC supply, it would basically be a direct replacement for the AC adapter. Anyone know how much current these things actually draw (i.e. if you really need a 4.6A)?

    According to Via, the mobo needs around 60W to run... so 12V 5A would be better although i think the 4.6 would do just fine. Anything lower might not work...
