I hope that catchy title got everyone's attention.
I would like to get rid of the external brick for my cube. I have a DQ77KB with a Dell laptop power supply. I know I can feed the power internally from a two pin 19V source. However, I would then need to power that internal source. Since pico PSUs seem to require the same kind of brick I am currently using I don't think that will help and will only make for more spaghetti inside my Cube.
How about this. Take the PSU from a 2011 Mac Mini, and make it spit out 19V. Just add an extra hole to the base plate of the cube, plug it in, and boom.
Anyone know what kind of voltage the Mac Mini PSU spits out? Anyone want to comment on whether this is a good idea or not.
Thanks.
