Choosing the correct EliteDesk Mini power adapter 

I'm picky too. I have to have 19.5V, not 19.0V. Some notes: 1. The adapters with the right-angle tips are meant for HP all-in-one computers. 2. The 18.5V adapter might be for a thin client, not sure. 3. The 19.0V adapters were used in the Core 2 Duo era of HP laptops and HP USDT's (ultra slim desktop). 4. You can go higher wattage if you find better prices. Eg. If a 180W or 230W adapter is cheaper than a 150W adapter then buy the cheaper one, as long as it's 19.5V. You should do a video on the hard drive mounting screws. I think G1/G2 use one kind of screw and G3 (and newer) use a different kind of screw.

A "35W TDP" CPU doesn't pull 35W from the wall, it can actually pull anything from 50 to 60W and in some cases, even more! It depending on the class/model of processor and it's workload. The "35W TDP" part just means, the maximum potential heat the CPU can give off when used, hence Thermal Design Power. It's more of a reference to the type of cooling solution you'd need to tame the procesor, preventing it from overheating. This is why on a 35W TDP system you only get an aluminium finned heatsink with the copper slug and on 65W TDP systems you get the slightly heavier copper heatsink with a copper slug. In the UK the my EliteMini 800 G9 with T Sku system came with a 90W brick direct from HP. Another options here seems to be 130W for the 65W Sku or 150W/180W if you have certain high core count processors.
