Not necessarily. Take the picoPSU for instance. It's an extremely small SFF power supply and since it's very efficient (>95%), runs on 12V DC (so no massive filters and transformers necessary) and isn't rated for extreme loads to begin with, it produces very little heat.

You'd still have to get that components on the motherboard though (see the Zotac mini-itx boards with onboard psu's) and it will take up more space than is available on this board I believe. :cool:

I wish it had 2 Lan ports, so that I can monowall it into a router when it's eventually too old for regular service. In fact give me a spartan board with two gbit lan ports at the same price and chop off the soundcard and the hdmi. Why is 2xLan considered a premium for low power pc's such as this?:rolleyes:

Haha, it seems everyone is taking me too literally. If you read my post again properly, the ON-BOARD PSU will not need a transformer since it runs from 12VDC. You really don't need a transformer to convert from 12V to 5V and 3.3V. You'd probably be best off using one for 115/240V down to 12V, but it doesn't matter where you get that 12V since the power brick isn't on the motherboard. You can even tap 12V from a huge buck converter for all I care, it's not going to be on the motherboard either way. That was my point :rolleyes:
