    Ahhh yes, I think you're correct. I think I had saved the link for the right-angle one because that's all I could find on mouser at the time.

    I have the part number of both the motherboard and power supply connectors in my notes somewhere. Was much easier to find in a hard copy molex catalogue one of my colleagues had. The website isn't so good imo

    If I want a PSU of dubious quality I can get one for $15 from plenty of places that have them in stock now.

    I just bought 2 DreamPSU's yesterday from the guy that made it. I hear there really good. Looking forward to replacing my old one. It needs replacing because I'm going to get the USB-GDROM in the next couple weeks and it needs the 12v mod anyways, so thought this would be just perfect.

    Just Installed my DreamPSU just now and it's great. No heat at all. Extremely happy with it. Took 2 mins to install. A 3 year old could do it. Worth every penny

    I just emailed the guy who did the DreamPSU and he emailed me back with how many I wanted. Ordered and within a few days it came. Worth every penny.

    Email him

    contact@dreampsu.com

    He mailed me back. Nice guy. He said they are sold out with currently no plans for more but he is starting a list of people that email him and if there is enough interest there may be another run.

    Did anyone by extras that they can sell? Looking for one to go in the hot gdemu modded dc.

    Most know about the PicoPSU, but not everyone likes the solder part on the install. The DreamPSU is so much easier to install. You can take it out of any console and install in another without any solder skills. No de-soldering required after install either. It's plug and play like you said. Don't think pico does that?

    I would say anyone looking for one needs to check ebay every once in a while, I saw one last week.

    Looks like these are up for preorder again. He has a saturn one too now.

    www.retropsu.com

    Is seems to be the same Chris that replied to my email in January and he put me on a waiting list. Can anyone confirm this site is run 100% by the same guy?

    Its the same guy. He contacted me via mail.

    "Hey,

    Recently I have been working on a website to make the DreamPSU and the SaturnPSU orders easier as well as making the all the info you could ever want available in one place.
    However, in the last 2 days I have received 2 unexpected pre-orders on the site thanks to Google indexing.
    As a result, I will be opening the site officially for pre-orders as of now.
    https://www.RetroPSU.com/
    As stated on the site, the pre-orders are not due to be shipped until end of May / beginning of June.
    The choice is yours if you wish to pre-order, however its at the risk of missing out as there will be limited stock.

    Chris
    RetroPSU.com"
