Help finding a motherboard that does not use a big power supply

[abispac]

Thanks for reading, i remember i looked somewhere here or at the boyac forums, a project where the guy used some kind of small motherboard, like the intel atom type that does not use afa and also he used like a separate power supply kind of what you would use with a laptop.Im trying to build a slim and small wall jukebox type and im having a hard time finding that kind of hardware.Any help would be apreciated, thanks.

The Intel D510MO is available from Fry's for like $80 and I've measured the entire DC draw of my system (which includes a 2.5" HDD) at <20W.  You could use something like a PicoPSU to generate the lower voltages on the ATX connector.  It's not fast, and the lack of power CPU management is frustrating for me (but mitigated by the fact that it only draws like 10-15W to begin with), but it's cheap and very low power.  No fans either; it's passively cooled.

Grab one of those complete atom systems. EEEpc, ASRock etc.

found the pico psu power supply can maybe be the solution im looking for, as i can get intel atom mini itx motherboards here local, i just wonder on the prices, some are 25 bucks some are 80 bucks, so i  wonder if the more expensive would be better or if the cheap ones will work just fine..

The main difference I see is that the ones in the $80 range comes with a AC power adapter and the $25- $40 range do not seem to have the adapter. Also , before buying one check to see if your motherboard needs a 20 pin or a 24 pin atx connector .
