Replaced a failing power supply in a Popcorn Hour C-200
So far it is working great. Could just be coincidence, but C-200 seems to not "get confused" as it often did, even when the unit was new. Could it be the power supply was always an issue?? Again, could be coincidence, but the C-200 is currently working very smoothly with the new power supply. As others noted, it is very compact, though does require the power brick outside the unit. No problem there, as it is hidden behind the entertainment center. My guess is that means less heat inside the C-200 enclosure, which should translate into longer component life. I feel like it is a win - win.

Not the right size for the FairyWren ITX motherboard.
I have a Raspberry Pi mounted to a FairyWren ITX motherboard. I picked this to power the board and it was too small. I needed the 24 Pin version. I have no doubt that it is well made and will work well for other projects that need this kind of power supply.

Micro footprint and no fan noise. Great combo.
Works well for my mini-ATX build. My motherboard needed a 4pin P4 power connection and one wasn't provided. Molex-to-P4 adapters are readily available online, but I just fabricated one from spare parts.

Works perfectly
I'm seeing that I'm only drawing about 90W at the wall, so taking into account the loss from the adapter that is plugged into the Pico PSU, I'm probably not really pushing this all that hard, but that was what I intended. Hopefully it continues to work as expected.

The power supply doesn't work with Intel D2500CCE Atom D2500 Dual LAN & Dual COM Mini-ITX Motherboard, BLKD2500CCE. When I turn off the system I hear a ticking sound. I googled and I found other people describe this problem like this:"I bought this specifically to address an issue the stock PicoPSU-80 has with the D2500CC motherboard. With this combination when the system is powered completely off using the operating system or hardware power button soft off function the system will shut down as expected but then the power supply will cycle on and off about once a second making a clicking sound until the system is either powered back up or unplugged from the 12V supply that runs this PSU."It doesn't look safe for the motherboard. Support team from http://www.mini-box.com/site/support.html is really disappointing. They probably want to help, but they probably cannot get information within the company to suggest a workaround/debug or replace the item.It's very frustrating experience with the product and mini-box support.
