Going to start a long term build project G4 Cube.

Yah. I wasn't sure which continent you were on. The board needs 19v +/- 10%. So a 19.5V will work fine. The wattage really depends how much you have hooked up. 150W to 100W should be fine. Then you just check for the right connector size. It should be 7.4mm outside diameter and 5.1mm inside diameter. That might help you find a cheaper alternative near you.

Here is the spec from the motherboard manual.

thanks to Apple i can put a fan on there! it wil be placed so that it wil suck all the heat out of the cpu.
