New 160W carpc power supply


Mini-box.com, the maker of Voompc enclosure, bring us a new automotive computer (car PC) power supply. Based on a modified design of the M1-ATX (90W) the new power supply unit keep the same microcontroller software allowing you to choose up to 8 ignition/shutdown car pc timing schemes via a built-in shutdown control.

M2-atx DC-DC
Providing 160W of power, the M2-atx, have a stronger 12V rail up to 8A making it ideal for operating most P4, P4-M, Celeron, ADM systems. Low power Geode and VIA processors will work as well, leaving ample power for 12V or 5V peripherials (multiple 3.5" hard drives, CDROM, etc).

Feature:

- 160 watts output
- Ideal car Power supply for operating P4, P4-M, Celeron, AMD systems
- ATX, 6-24V wide input range
- Intelligent shutdown controller
- ON/OFF motherboard control
- Survives vehicle engine cranks
- Battery deep discharge prevention
- High efficiency, 160 watts output
- "Anti-Thump" Amplifier remote control
- 15A automotive fuse (mini-blade)
- VIA, P4 and AMD CPU support

The M2-ATX is formfactor compatible with a wide range of carputer enlcosure and of course with the blue chasis VoomPC. I'm seriously considering this as the basis of my carpc project.
