Hey everyone, I’m looking for some breakout boards for IBM power supplies, something similar to those JabberW0ck boards but with extra connectors. Also, does anyone have a PCB schematic file to share? Thanks a lot!

Yes, it looks like I can find them, at least in the U.S. Breakout board (fits 2 PSUs): $13 each PCIe power cables: $19 for 10 IBM 94Y8118 900W 80+ Platinum supply: $20 each. Make sure you specifically buy the '94Y8118' version manufactured by Emerson, because it has the highest efficiency. It looks like you can get 1800w of power for $72 in total at Platinum, which isn't a bad deal at just $40/kW. But I would only run 1500w through the breakout board, just to be on the safe side. If you went with the 80+ Gold HP DPS-750RB, that would cost $47 for 750w of power. That's $63/kW. So IBM is clearly a better deal, especially after you consider the $8-9/kW of savings every year from the increased efficiency.
