I'm looking to purchase a PicoPSU 90 or 120, maybe if you like that one we can get a disount Very Happy It's significantly smaller, and usually goes for $40USD+SHIP.

I have a dumb question, Rolling Eyes Duh
Do these mini DC-DC power supplies perform the same duties as the big metal box, power supplies that we see in desktop PCs?

Half of it.

These are DC-DC, meaning you still need a powersupply to take wall power (110V AC) to 12V DC. (like a wall wart)

12v 4A power supplys are readily available, and anything to make an ITX PC smaller is worth the effort Very Happy I have a 12v 8A laptop-type adaptor awaiting one of these power supplies.

I will use it in a mini itx PC based on this new mobo
http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?419
without any kind of fans and a self built case

yes, I know there is also the PicoPSU 120W but this other can handle 200W (with my Dell power brick DA-2 220W and 18A) so I'm pretty sure can power up the PC.
