Help Finding 850W PSU

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

Hello LinusTechTips community,

Today I call upon you all in my quest to help find a solid 850W power supply / a PSU with 2x 8pin CPU power connectors for my dual Xeon X5550 server. I keep experiencing random shutoffs and I'm assuming it has to do with my current setup which is splitting the 8 pin power from a single EVGA 650W 80+ Bronze PSU into two 8pin CPU power connectors which is drawing too much power. The cooling is excellent and I can't seem to find any other issues or possible points of failure.

I'd LOVE to get a redundant PSU that can fit into a standard ATX mounting bracket or just a really solid PSU, my budget is 60 bucks and under and I don't mind (and actually prefer) buying off Ebay.

60 bucks...? That's not gonna get you a solid 850W unit. Also, 650W is plenty to power two CPUs so I'm not exactly sure why your system is shutting off.
