I have done a lot of deals with sidehack in the btc threads.
I have been active with btc eth and etc.
It is good to see you post here.
I will try to figure out what I could use.
R9 390 gpus need 8 pin
So a six pin to six + two pin cable would work.
i have a lot of servers in house I would love to,adapt,one to run a pc

For those of you who don't know me (which is expected, since I don't altcoins in general), I have built a small business around supporting the mining community and like finding ways to help home and small-scale miners get an edge against the takeover of industrial operations, including affordable power hardware and hosting. These days a lot of small-scale miners are running GPU rigs, so it's probably time I made good on some projects that have been rolling around for a while to help you guys out.
I work a lot with server PSUs and breakout boards. I also make cables. I have recently expanded my cable-making abilities to do things faster and with wider variety. I can now make 6+2 cables, PCIe splitters, and 4-Molex which I hear are useful for GPU powered risers. It is my assumption that, if someone wanted to run a GPU rig off a server PSU, it'd be handy to have cables with 6-pin on one end and 6+2 on the other to power cards directly without adapters. It'd probably be handy to have a 6-pin to EPS 8-pin native cable for motherboard 12V power.
I am also working on a small board which would draw power from 6-pin jacks and fan out into three 4-Molex cables for plugging into powered risers, integrating a 5V converter and with entirely modular cabling.
I might, if there is enough demand, develop a small picoPSU-style board with 5V and 3.3V converters (probably 12-15A each) that takes in power from 6-pins and attaches directly to ATX24 connector for main motherboard power.
If there's something y'all GPU guys think needs to be done or something else that would make things easier for you, let me know and I'll see what I can do. If any of this interests you, hit me up and we can talk numbers.
