Streacom FC7 vs FC7 EVO
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 11:38 am
Hi all,
Hopefully a quick query that someone might be able to help me with.
I am interested in getting hold of a Streacom FC7 EVO case. Having looked at the Streacom website, the EVO version is described as needing a nanoPSU, where as the earlier non-EVO version requires a picoPSU. I presume that from its name the nanoPSU is a bit smaller than the picoPSU, although the dimensions I have seen quoted on various websites appear minimal.
Is the EVO compatible with a picoPSU (I will be using a 3.5 inch HDD and a 2.5 inch SSD)?
I'm hoping that the fact Streacom say a nanoPSU is required in the EVO is simply because they don't make a picoPSU anymore and are, quite rightly, wanting to market their latest products. Markerting aside though, I'd rather buy a Minibox 80w picoPSU as they are a lot cheaper and Streacom's nano version (I'm only building a headless Atom-based music server).
Many thanks
Russ
