NLX vs. ATX power supplies...

We just got in a shipment of power supplies- they were supposed to be ATX, but just got a call from one of our customers asking, "What the heck is an NLX power supply? I ordered an ATX!"

Sure enough- all of these power supplies are NLX.

After some research, the only thing i can locate on the NLX form factor is that the MB's are 'slim line' and this is desinged for more compact case design.

We have noticed that the ATX connector is abot 3 inches shorter than the regular ATX power supplies, but we are not sure if that is the only difference.

Anybody have any information on other differences between ATX and NLX power supplies?

Does anyone know anything about these power supplies?

From what I remember NLX boards can use standard ATX power supplies. You usually see slimline power supplies hooked up to these boards because they are in a small case.

I would think Ruslan knows.

Chipzilla's link gives the in's & outs ( I just read that file after doing a search myself & was just about to post the lnk as well until I see that :D )

Thanks all-- this info was really helpful....
