The picoPSU has received a good deal of attention since it was shown off at CES just a few weeks ago. Pictures of the tiny 120W unit have been featured on numerous websites, but what about the performance?

That might be something they want to add to the manual or specs somewhere, as I don't see it either. Like I said in the review, I mistakenly connected a 19V supply, not realizing the Serener case I had wasn't 12V in, and nothing worked (but nothing was apparently damaged).
The supply I am successfully using from the Morex Cubid 3688 is 12VDC, 5A, with the following complete specs:

It will connect and power the board... I would just analyze what other peripherals you intend to connect. A bunch of drives, fans, etc, could easily kill such a small power supply.
Try one of those online power supply calculators to see your minimum requirements.
