Linear PSU for NUC

[Brodi]

Hi all,

 

I have recently acquired an intel nuc dc3217by.

 

Now, I really would like to use a linear power supply with mine. Specs for the current wall wart are 19 V DC , 3.42A. It is not too easy to find similarly specced linear supplies. Do you guys have some ideas?

 

Thanks

This is close to the spec of the old (pre-2010) Mini supply, and a lot of people bought linear supplies for these in the mistaken belief that 18.6v was essential, so there should be some going second hand when these Minis get swapped for later ones. If you need a new one, TeraDaK do one of these, or if you want the high end, I believe Mojo may have some left on the shelf (you might even be able to negotiate!), and Paul Hynes can also do specials, though you might have to wait a bit. You might check that you really need 3.5a- a Mini will run audio on much less than 2a.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for those mac mini supplies
