Hey all,
There isn't a power supply specific forum, so I hope this belongs here.
My server has been up and running for a few years now with a desktop power supply with only one 8pin EPS connector. I connected the second one by using a 6pin PCIe graphics plug to 8pin EPS adapter.
I have since found out that this is not really a good idea, especially now that I am about add a couple of PCIe expansion cards that will draw a good deal of power through the slots.
So, to this end, I am looking for a replacement power supply. I'm going to try to continue using a desktop power supply, because I am familiar with the form factor, know it fits my case (Norco RPC4216) and because they tend to be cheaper.
What I am ideally looking for is something like this:
I appreciate any suggestions!

What I am ideally looking for is something like this:
- Dual EPS 8-pin plugs (without using adapters)
- 24 Pin Motherboard plug
- Approximately 750W (~=/- 100W)
- Reasonably efficient (Platinum would be nice, after all this box is on 24/7)
- Modular design would be great too, to help clean up the rats nest of wires in there.
I appreciate any suggestions!
