Guys please chill out!  Grin

I have decided to go with a server PSU because the purchase cost is so much less. As for overall running cost who knows? Once its all setup I will certainly post my WATT usage to compere against the ATX PSU crew.

I understand its not the S3/S3+ that requires all four to be used for the extra power. The extra two termanils are there just in case a user decides to install low rated cables (Cheap 18awg or 20awg). So the better the cable (16awg) then only two are required.

Feel like im double posting here because I have already mentioned the final design on another post, upto you guys to keep this alive but im out, thanks for everyones help ill see you guys later.

ATX PSU EVGA 1000W G2 x 2 will cost £280 plus possiable splitters and extra VGA cable as per my design early.

Server PSU Dell 2100w will cost £80 including all cables, blocks etc + my time to make them up.

Not the most prettest design but should work great.

Clever guy!  Wink

That's what I've tried to tell you since the beginning of the thread.  Cool

This psu will be enough for 5 ants.

Just have to do some work. But be careful with the connections at the end of the psu. Have to be tight but if you solder them is the best.
