Hi
I need help with this PSU: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0JX399-Dell-PowerEdge-2950-750W-Hot-Plug-Redundant-AC-Power-Supply-Unit-Z750P-00-/281038936437?pt=UK_Computing_PowerSupplies_EH&hash=item416f39d975

Can anyone help me with choice of this or any other one which will fit s1.
I had corsair cx500 but price is to high.

Hi,

Uhmm this one will be ok for 1 Ant. If you think you'll get another ant in the future; you can choose:

This one will power 2 ants... It will cost you around 20-22GBP.

One note! These PSU's have a max amount of watts you can use on each output pin.. So if you have a complete ant (both blades) on 1 output pin...then you'll be pulling >360W on a pin that has a max of 312W (in case of the 930W PSU). You'll fry it... like I did Wink
