Didn't find it in the sticky thead. Are Delta PSUs OK? There's a local store selling Delta 300 watt server power supplies, 24 pin connector, for $9.99.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
How are Delta PSUs?

They're not bad for OEM spec boxes, HP used a lot of them a few years back, I'm not sure what they put in now. The bigger question to me is why you're looking for server-grade components that cost $9.99... that's almost an oxymoron.

well Delta is one of the largest Power Supply concerns in the world
but they really arent end user oriented and are thus latgely unrepresented among enthusiasts
as to if that supply is suitable for you
Id need to know what your powering
and the amps per rail listed on the lable on side of the PSU
(or possiblly its model designation)
it could easily be an older ATX, ATX12V v1.2, or v1.3
whereas you may need a v1.3 hybrid or v2.0
since you saud uts a "server" supply it might also be an older EPS12V, yet still lack the amps on the +12V rail for your needs
watts mean little these days
most of the extra watts you see in monster supplies are for compatibility and rarely get employed, an average rig needing 150 > 250W, but then many supplies are rated at unreasonably low temperatures too, and dont stand a snowball's chance in hell of actually prodicing thier rated watts at normal operating temperatures (especially if the are exhausting the CPU\HSF)

They're still using Delta power supplies. We've been getting in new HP systems and they all have 410W Delta power supplies._Korruption_ said:

My old 300W Delta is built better than anything except maybe a PC Power & Cooling PSU, and its transformer is larger than average despite running at a higher frequency, which normally allows the transformer to be smaller for any given amount of power.
