The -Store- mentions 'integrated' power supplies although looking at the pictures (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/bb/top.jpg)
I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is actually the power supply, or if there needs to be an external power supply plugged in. Do all the systems have power supplies 'built-in' the box?

Also the section on power supplies says the p60A is 'silent', but from the picture (http://damnsmalllinux.org/store/itx_power/pw_60a) I see a, a..a.a *fan* (argh! unclean unclean..!) sitting on top of a heat sink, which I hope is not part of the PS. So what part is that fan sitting on? which part is the PS? and how does it plug in?

Hi Humpty,

The 'integrated' power supply is at the bottom of that pic against the case wall.

The fan in the second pic is a CPU fan, not the fan for the power supply.  The power supply in the second pic is the piece plugged in on the far left.
