I've built 3 rigs now using conventional power supplies and they all work great. Some friends have asked me to build some for them, so I am looking into other options.
Searching Newegg, I came across this power supply:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7GT5NK5071I am curious as to how this would hook up. I currently use 2x 700W power supplies and use a 24-pin splitter, which signals the 2nd power supply to turn on when the first is turned on. How would this power supply know when to turn on? I don't see any way to connect it via the traditional 24-pin splitter.
Also, it looks like it fits into a server case.
I am intrigued by this user's build using a Rosewill server case.

Could I use a traditional ~400w power supply for motherboard + SSD and then use the above mentioned power supply for the mining cards? How would that work? Anyone have experience with those types of power supplies?
