Hi all, This isn't FreeBSD related, except that I want to deploy a dozen or so of these servers with guess-which-OS. :-) For a reasonably equipped IDE RAID server, I went with the S845WD1-E Intel server board (single P4, dual channel on-board RAID1), and chose the Enlight EN-89810SX3 2U chassis. Only after building the thing do I realize that these Enlight cases have a standard ATX power supply (20-pin main power, 4-pin secondary), but the server board needs a ATX12V or EPS12V power supply. After contacting the (large) hardware supplier we bought the components from, and contacting several local retail computer/networking shops, no one seems to have any answers. Google wasn't even much help... except in confirming that these things are apparently not very well known. :-) I haven't yet tried to contact Intel directly. Any idea where I can find a power supply that will work with this board, in a 2U form factor? Or would I be better off sending the Intel board back to supplier from whence it came? :-) - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com 901-1st Avenue North - Saskatoon, SK - S7K 1Y4 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-244-7037 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America
