I'm looking for a cheap server power supply that I can use with a Supermicro H8DCL-iF and an Opteron 4170 and 16GB of 1.35V memory. I'll only have one laptop disk, and a USB stick in the system for storage. I'll only be using the system in this configuration for a few months, and then installing it in place of my current home server motherboard (keeping the 1050W Enermax ERV1050EWT in the server). $50 would be a good price point, but I don't object to a few extra bucks.
I have two Kingwin ABT-450MMs lying around (hardwaresecrets review here). Would that be a reasonable option?
The motherboard mentions "Note: Two 8-pin connectors are required to support 2 CPUs due to SSI spec". I'll only be using one CPU; does that change anything? The cheapest option with two 8-pin EPS connectors that I've found is the SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze. I could also get something like this molex to EPS adapter and avoid buying a new PSU.
