So a 60W brick should do the job. www.mini-box.com sells the PicoPSU-120 with a 60W brick together for USD$55 (total!). Or you could save a further $5 by getting the same brick with a lower-rated PicoPSU-90 for $50 from them.

They do ship internationally, though the cost may be excessive since they're US-based, and many places in the US don't seem to offer AirMail as a shipping method. Quite odd, that.

EDIT: Yup, they fall into that category: $118.25 for the overkill of UPS Worldwide Express to Norway.

Or you could have one of us pick it up and bring it along to the 10th Birthday party for you.


Perhaps somebody in the US (I'm in Canada) might offer to acquire one, and then just airmail it your way. The PicoPSU by itself will actually fit in a small padded envelope, and could be sent letter mail.

But the brick would require Small Packet Airmail, costing perhaps $20 or so to ship.
