RE: The power consumption of the my new platform.

Bibo,

I may be able to help out here somewhat. When I was considering trying the LT3080 on these voltage rails, I wanted to make sure the chip (which is limited to 1.1A) could handle the current requirements.

I measured the draw of the +12v supply to the internal monitor and that of the +5v to the USB ports (for the monitor's touchscreen connection + my cordless mouse).

I am sorry that I don't remember the exact measurements, but both of these were under 750Ma. My recollection is that the +12v monitor was in the range of 500Ma-700Ma and that the +5v USB was in the range of 250Ma-500Ma.

If these work, great. If you need more precise measurements (and noone else comes up with it), I can measure again.
