Wow, wtf?!?!? according to that PSU, its not capable of 120v at all... is this correct? .. I thought it was a normal full range unit (110-240v)
...

●The server version of Intel EPS 12V 2.92 standards, backward compatible with smart modular design, intelligent identification into the electrical equipment, without judgment, plug rated power 600W, powerful dual +12 V output design, output power up to 540W
● Active PFC wide (170V-264V) designed for grid energy efficiency up to 99%
● In a typical load, the conversion efficiency up to 85% energy saving, environmental protection, more power ● leading two-transistor forward, effectively reducing switch losses and improve the power efficiency ● 2 ounces of whole server plate design, effectively reduce PCB board losses and improve efficiency ● 12CM ultra-quiet fan with temperature control circuit design, low noise, long life ● equipped with long cables to support the power under the home and backplane traces, to meet the needs of gamers

This PSU looks like a POS group regulated design with similar efficiency to old FSP/Sparkle 2006 designs (OCZ GameXStream, FSP Epsilon, etc.)
Plus it's only rated 540w, and these sell for what looks like $35-50 in bulk.

Ah, so probably best to order w/o PSU =) ... good to know

Yes but I think we need some clarification on how to plug in the power supply.  If you are using one supply it will be different than two.  I had a bunch of first gen Avalons, and the idea was to plug in as much power as possible.  But these appear to have two power distribution boards, and the PSU connector can only go to one...

Any chance of a closeup set of shots showing the power board clearly?
