  1. Thanks for replying. I made sure the motherboard is free from those annoyances and will most likely use a ATX-PS if I don't find a better solution.
  2. My first post here and english isn't my native tongue, so please be forgiving ;P So my plan was building a budget Gaming-PC using servercomponents. Many computers who were built for gaming got a dedicated graphicscard, so I searched for a motherboard which had a PCIe x16 slot, two CPU's which won't bottleneck a high end GPU, some nice DDR-3 RAM and a decent server-powersupply. But then I remembered that a GPU needs POWER! And those ITX-PS don't have thise sweet 6-8 Pinpowerconnectors. So I searched for a solution and found some crappy and not so crappy. 1.Solution (Let's just use my soldering iron and do stuff): The idea is buying an extra server-powersupply and soldering the +12V and Gnd to some cables. That option would cost around 20$ These images I found should be enough to work on, they should be attached 2.Solution Using a generic ATX-Powersupply (400W?) and connecting the 6 and 8 Pinconnectors to the graphicscard, which would cost another 50$ and this would also slove another problem. The drives also need some power so the second solution has something simple for it. The list of all parts is also attached. Here's a PDF for the mainboard I found which states on site 88 (hehe) under Graphics adapter option "Connect the power cables." The question is which power cables. So I kinda would like to know if there would be any other more professionell solutions for my problem. While not having to use 2 powersupplies. I'm open for every idea as long as I don't have to solder smd components to a self made board.
