i suppose you missed this one:

only $250!
660W


Now, that is an excellent example of the principles of power
supply selection.

+3.3V@ min 1.5 max 38A,
+5V 5 42A
+12V 14A
-12V 0.8A
+5VSB 2.7A

Notice how the +12V is barely adequate for a basic install.
The other rails are strong enough to use for arc welding.

So, you cannot judge this supply by price (you pay $250 but
can barely run a basic system). You cannot judge by total
power (660W and it won't have enough power to run a large
number of disk drives).

This supply is from a previous generation, where processor
power conversion is based on +5V. It would have easily run
a dual board from that generation.

HTH,
Paul
