For the longest time, i've been using 1600W server PSUs on my rigs by buying them from miners or crypto stores at around $200 a piece.
This time around, i'm building a very DIY budget build and i saw a refurbished 2000W server PSU for only $55.

This $55 server PSU does not come with a breakout board and PCIE connectors but still, the price gap is huge.
My questions are:

1. Is this a good buy? Am i putting my rig at risk?
2. Where can i buy PCIE / PICO breakout board adapters for server PSUs? I don't want to use ebay and i've read specific boards only work on specific PSUs.




There are trusted seller here in the forum like Finksy, you can reach him and deal accordingly depending on your locations
