I have a bunch of nice atx power supplies laying around from gpu mining, is there any way I can leverage those?

yes you need this

this tricks the psu into turning on.

then go to this guy

you will be far better off and you will spend less then70 bucks. you will be able to power 3 blades.

as cablez has 3 plugs 2 sets have 6 plugs.

I have all the gear you have and I have the better gear. night and day difference.

by the way your gear will pull 10 to 20 watts more as the psu you picked is under 80% more like 70%

you should reall get the cables by cablez

I wouldn't mind going the atx route, I have a bunch of spare atx power supplies. I'm going to PM cablez for a quote.

If you aren't going the ATX psu route then you can buy the brick psu's on amazon with the same amps and voltages and the barrel size for cheap. Last time I checked they were around $7 each. This is the cheaper route for the bricks.

I just bought 2 G-Blades, but didn't realize they didn't come with a power supply. Zoomhash is charging $25 per PSUs, with 2 PSUs per unit. Instead of spending a hundred dollars to power these blades, I decided to look online for a cheaper alternative. I found http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1811261 in a quick google search. With 2 of these PSUs, I could power both for only ~$70. I was trigger happy and bought the parts listed below, thinking I would just make my own cables. I realized after I checked out from amazon that the hardforum post was for the pods, not the blades.

My question: Is the barrel jack the same connector between the pods and blades?

your gear purchased is a little less, but it is not good as compared to above.
