hello all,
I have previous experience of converting ATX PSU's but for the next project I'd like something with a bit more 12v oomph, cheap, and active power-factor correction. But whilst ATX psu's generally advertise the fact that if they've got APFC, non of the server psu's labels I've looked at say one way or the other, although they tent to have a.c. inputs 100-240v - which is typical of APFC.
do they have APFC? and if some do & some don't, is there a way to find a cheap 2nd hand one with APFC.
specifically I was looking at a pair of dell poweredge 750's but would prefer not to take a gamble, and so far googling the part no. hasn't revealed the answer.
any advice or expertise would be appreciated before I spend my money.
thx
M
