Hi, has anyone attempted this? I did some research but only found the newer ones. Am I missing something here?
This morning I found a board that could fit in the mac mini 2007. It's the Gigabyte GA-H110MSTX-HD3. My current concern is about the dc in connector. Does someone knows the size of it? and I can't seem to find how much power I should send in there. What I would like to do is keep the original mac mini power brick to supply this one.
Any thoughts?
For background reading about my experience with STX motheboards, see: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/a-skylake-cube.197843/ . In that thread there is discussion about DC power input plug/receptacle for thin m-ITX and STX.
Hi Neilhart, thank you for the answer. That helped a lot but now I have some more questions. Would you recommend 12v or 19v? And should I adapt wattage accordingly to voltage?
I saw an adapter on mini-box: http://www.mini-box.com/12v-10A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter
What do you think about this one? Or there is the original mac mini that runs 18.5v at 110W...
How do I know the wattage needed before I try it? I checked on a power supply calculator but I suspect they assume I will use a standard ATX one.Just in case I'll give you the list of parts:
-motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110MSTX-HD3
-CPU: I3-7100 Kaby Lake at 51W
-memory: Crucial 2x4Gb 2133 mhz sodium
-SSD: kingston m.2 2280 120Gb
-PCI-E: Apple bluetooth/ wifi card
-1 noctua fan for cpu
Sorry for all those questions all at once and thank you again!!
