this guy built a render farm with 16 motherboards, does that mean each motherboard have there own psu or that each motherboard is using one-four psu's?

Where should the psu go?

 

 

if you where to build a render farm or a database center, will each motherboard have there own psu?

I'd probably just buy splitters and put a few motherboards on the same power supply.  Don't see why this wouldn't work.
