So I have 3 server 1200W 80 plus platinum PSUs, but they have no connectors, so i cant use them. I'm currently building a custom desk pc with a bunch of server motherboards in it, and it would be awesome if i could use these psus for the project. I think these psus can only provide current on the 12v rail tho. I've also seen a lot of these breakout boards on eBay, but they only provide PCIe connectors:

So the question is, could i use an old atx psu for the 24 pin connector on each motherboard and one of these PSUs with a breakout board and these adapters to power all CPUs and PCIe cards? will it work?

 

These are the adapters im talking about:

Ah, that one.

But I don't think you can use what you've posted.

 

You have to look for a PSU specific Adaptor thingy...
