Buy a used 500W server power supply on eBay for $20. They're built like brick shithouses, they only produce 12V, and you can put whatever ends on them you want.

Ztex quads, or Enterpoint quads? The Enterpoint quads have proper 6-pin connectors, which should be plentiful on most power supplies. A 4-pin molex really shouldn't be expected to carry too much current, it only has one +12v wire.

Single rail Corsair HX1000 would be great... It would include 2 x 8pin 4 x 6pin... and all the other shit you need.

And you can get (what appears to be) the same PSU on amazon.co.uk

IMO, the Silencer MKII 950w is one of the best PSU bargains around, though I don't know if this is true in Europe.

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...

You might as well go for a 1000W gold PSU so you get the high efficiency and room for growth. That should avail you at least 4 PCIe cables to work from.

For these quad boards, yes you can get away with 2 units per 12v line if they max around 40W each. The other option is to get a fully modular PSU and run 16AWG right to the PSU direct if you are extra cautious.

Which board? Assuming each quad is spartan based at 40w, you can run 6 off each pcie. Just make an adapter, or chop and solder.
