Fremont (CA) - For some users, computer designs can't be small and quiet enough. Mini-box.com has begun offering what it claims to be the world's smallest ATX compliant power supply that uses a single 12 volt power source and puts out 120 watts.

With 31 x 45 mm, the footprint of the "picoPSU" is significantly smaller than a common business card and about 10 to 20 times smaller than a standard power PC supply. Of course users don't get the 500 and more watts from the picoPSU, but the Mini-box.com device provides enough juice to power the components of a low power computer systems.
