Hi Guys, Really new to the eGPU scene. Been reading about it for a couple of months now and always end up coming back to techinferno with my searches on google. So basically I want to take the plunge and do this but the most "easiest" way possible - although that is not entirely possible. I mainly need some help with regards to the Power Supply. Just some background on what I want to achieve, I have Mac Mini Mid 2012 model. Currently I am running a 4K screen on it, only way this is possible by running a mac-pixel-clocker-patch if available after every update this enables 3840 x 2160 @ 30hz. This is okay however there is sometimes its difficulties where doesnt work 100% reason why I am looking at eGPU option as it should be more stable. I am not gaming just purely running 4k resolution on Mac Mini. So my list of parts I am looking is as follows Akitio Thunder 2 EVGA 750ti (Single fan, with no pcie power) HP 230W Replacement AC Adapter HSTNN-DA12S with this Barrel Convertor (this is where I need the help - need to know if this will work?) So Im opting for this option as it seems to be the most "easiest" way out there but the question more around the power supply if the power supply is sufficient with the barrel converter or is the Dell D220p the only option out there? My main idea is to have a power brick to provide enough power through the Akitio Thunder 2 to power the GPU to only run normal tasks - I wont be gaming on this. Any input appreciated? Thanks, Riaan
