12V power supplies for powering graphics cards

http://cgi.ebay.com/Switching-Power-Supply-Transformer-DC-12V-30A-LED-CCTV-/110656523970?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c3a48ec2
AC input: 100-120V; 200-240V.
Output: 12V , 0 ~ 30A .
About 72% efficient, should be more efficient than running a normal psu just to power cards
$40 to power two cards.
Any thoughts?

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Something tells me that wouldn't be such a great idea.
The absolute first issue to resolve is wiring it up.
Second is the low efficiency compared to PSUs designed for computers (which are generally 80%+).

any specs about this "12V" spectrum/fluctuations/stability ?
also this device is hardly designed to 24/7 operation.

dont foresee wiring to be too much of a problem, just more work
I guess i should buy one and stress test it
some graphs on the output of this thing, read the 12v lines

I see absolutely no reason to want to do this. It's only 360W and the efficiency is poor.

72% is poor efficiency, sure.

At that cost you could just as well buy another psu

sure. about $50 for similary-rate[on 12V] PSU's is quite usual and [slight]price difference was pay back in power efficiency very quick. let alone chances to realiably work long time for such stuff.

Here you go, enough power for two cards (40A 12V output but you shouldn't draw that much, 30A should be okay though), 80+ bronze, and good reviews for $35

You are just way off here.
