Has anyone had any luck with the various server PSUs on ebay?

It looks like its just housing two HP Server PSUs, my only issue would be with the reliability of the wires as opposed to a breakout board option.

With Parallel miner having no stock I was hoping someone else had some ideas on server PSUs, in Canada a lot of the ATX PSU deals are pricey after shipping

The server PSUs that I like are the HP 1,500w common slot PSU (yellow label on top, takes 220v) and the DPS-2000BB (220v). I use them with breakout boards, not wires. You can strap or screw in a heatsink on the HP 1500w units and that will help keep them cool and the fan noise to a minimum. Easy to fit one of these into a 4U Rosewill case (HP PSU). Can't speak to the particular one on Ebay.
