Re: Considering building a retro system
I use pulls from 1U & 2U servers as they tend to have much higher capacities and can operate paralleled.
I use a pair of the top supplies (12V @ 70A) wired in series to power my electric wheelbarrow. Anderson connector makes them easy to install and remove (card edge connector is a PITA when you're interfacing to discrete 12AWG wires)
I'll be switching to the bottom supply (12V @ 90A) as soon as I can collect a few more of them.
If my power needs are more modest, I have a bunch of (keypad!) programmable triple output supplies that I can use.
