No sure I like the idea of using server PSU's.... noisy and I doubt they are very efficient, but hey thanks for the input. Im going to buy ATX PSU's Gold or Plat rated.
I found this video on you tube and this guy has them cross connected each PSU powering 1.5 miners. I didnt know this was possible for the S3+, would someone please confirm its safe.

So if I got the EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 this has, 6x 8pins on the rear so I could power 1.5 miners?

I have 5 EVGA G2 850W units powering 10 S3/S3+ no problems; no need to use paperclip to short the pin on the motherboard connector either - the PSUs come with a adapter that will short the pins. You only need to use 2 PCIE power cables per S3 - no need to use 4 per miner.I found this video on you tube and this guy has them cross connected each PSU powering 1.5 miners.

Also using EVGA G2 750W units to power AM Prisma (2 per Prisma)
If you happen to be in USA; Amazon has the best prices on the EVGA G2s and their MiR will cover up to 2 PSUs.
I have used the Dell 750W Server PSUs w/ breakbout boards; they get pretty hot; even with the fan turned up. I sold 2 of tyhem on eBay - kept 2 for spares; so I could setup miners in my office before they go to mining room in basement.
