Power Supply Options: Standard ATX, mini redundant power supply

Also, are iStar and DynaPower any good for Server PSU's? i recall DynaPower name being mentioned sometime back and their PSU's not being great?

The ST46GF looks like it will fit, but if you're looking for a rackmount chassis with redundant power supplies, just buy a Supermicro one off eBay. Far higher quality and it will wind up being cheaper. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310186050858

company CC, they don't like me buying off Ebay only retailers, also i already bought an 1156 Xeon and mobo to go into the case for a server.

You can still buy new. I just wouldn't go with the ones you listed. These might be a bit more expensive, but they're much higher quality and two of the three include rails as well:

Yeah neither are very good PSU makers, in both server and consumer quality/specifications

good to know, thanks for the info all.

I think i am the first "hardware guru" to work in the company as they are now looking to me for advice on PC parts, mainly power suppliers and harddrives!
