The trouble with building a small-format PC is that the run-of-the-mill Micro ATX power supplies don’t pump out that much power.

The result is you have to be extra cautious about which components you add. Enermax’s EG285ST-BW gives you more leeway as it pumps out 270w of power.

The Smart Fan keeps the fan running for two minutes after shutdown to help cool the case internals. The fan is thermally controlled, which means the spin speed adjusts according to the internal heat of the PSU.
