Which I adapted to make a redundant PSU array (still under construction, linked in my sig).
A more sane person than me would simply use cheap small PSUs for each mobo. More sanely, you can have one very large power supply for each voltage rail (+12, +5, +3.3, -5 and -12), but the bunch of smaller PSUs is still going to come out cheaper. |
Sane? Who's sane? They don't belong here. ;p
We're actually trying to get away with sharing one of those cheap supplies between 2-3 machines. We're obviously not going to be running bleeding edge hardware or very much memory, or any drives (except on the server), so power requirements will be pretty low, and predominantly on the 5V rail.
