I plan on buying an Intel S2600G motherboard, and building my own server. I'm quite familiar with the process of building a PC, however servers seem to be more different that I first thought.
1. After quite a bit of googleing I've found a "DELL POWEREDGE 2950 POWER SUPPLY PSU 750W" that will be compatible with the motherboard. However the motherboard also has 2 x 4 pin power sockets (one for each CPU) will I also need to connect them to the PSU? If so how, since the power supply doesn't have a connecter for that?
2. I have been used to simply looking for an ATX (or which ever size motherboard I have) and finding a case compatible with that. However after spending a good hour searching I failed to find a compatible case, mostly due to the 2 power supplies not been compatible with it. Can anyone recommend a good 1U or 2U case for that. Preferably a UK based store, or ships to the UK, and as cheap as possible.
Thanks for any help,
