Monitor/PSU Question (bartop build)

<< < (3/3)

BobA:
Yes it shows 13vdc so your 12v on the computer PS may not be up to the task.  I also see some vrms voltages that look like your monitor uses some AC voltages stepped down so if You want to keep it running keep the AC supply to the monitor and allow it to convert to what it needs.

Hi.
I had a similar desire with my first bartop.  Similar monitor too.

I just ended up cutting the IEC cable plug off and wiring it to a socket, then using a split cable to the mains.
That way its still just 1 cable to power it all.

I fitted it to the back panel just above the atx's socket.  1 socket would have been nice but this was a happy compromise.

I'm seriously debating this option. I noticed another thread that walks through this process and I might just settle with this.
