Neil (or anyone) can you tell me: does this PSU require a load before it will "turn on" or does it also produce 19.5VDC when disconnected i.e. read with a voltmeter? I bought one of these for my build, but I'm not getting the expected 19.5 volts tho I do have the LED lit. Don't wanna try it on my DH61AG if it's dead...The major attraction of this motherboard is the on-board PSU. The input is 19VDC. The common as nails (at least in my world) Dell 19.5VDC laptop power adapter fits the specification and even has the correct connector to mate to the MB.
This means that you don't need a standard PSU or even better you don't need the space for a conventional PSU. You do need to understand your power budget.
