I'm all but certain all DPS-xxxxBB supplies use both the same connector and pinout. From looking at many, many e-bay ads I'm nearly certain they are not only the same connector, but the same form factor too.

I would also be interested in boards for the 2000W PSUs if you ever get around to them. 
Same here. I'm interested in the DPS-2000BB boards.

Oh don't worry, I will.
We're gonna talk over the timing for the next few weeks, likely gonna be placing a somewhat large order with the factory for those connectors for later rounds of manufacture. Should have DPS800 boards within 3 or 4 weeks, and probably 2000W boards about the same time.

Bobsag has offered to put up some BTC, but I'll have to decide how to split that up between the cables he wants and an order for these connectors. And then decide how many connectors we want to order.
I can confirm I put up some BTC to get this project rolling.
Just offering, in case it would help.
edit: In retrospect, this may also be a terrible idea. sidehack has a plan, so let's see how he decides to work this out.

Which I was figuring on integrating a fan header and speed controller on the board so you could plug one in. Anyone got a recommendation for a 2KW with internal fan and pretty standard connector? What's the difference between the DPS2000 and the DPS2500 that guy mentioned a few posts back?

Is it the same pinout, or the same connector? Same connector would make things super easy, slightly easier than just same pinout. The DPS2000 is my current front-runner for a multi-KW supply to work with.
The PSU is good but it needs to be modded and a Fan has to be added in order for it to be cooled down.

Not sure yet. I'll see what the community's favorite bigarse supply is before deciding - as well as factors like cost/availability of connector, available pinout information etc.
Whell,
The DPS series comes in multiple sizes, and from what I can tell they all share the same pinout which is easy to find. The card edge connectors are super easy to find, so much so that I even found them.
Besides the fan issue, they seem the best choice for 220V serious power from my research.
The DPS-2000BB is all over ebay for ~$30, too.
This might help. Ignore the pci-e plugs though, as they are wrong for GPUs.

PCBs have been ordered, parts are all spec'd and orders are being placed. We're still trying to iron out timelines and delivery estimates; hopefully by the time we're out of parts for the Z750 boards we're starting to make the DPS800 boards so there's not a lot of time lost between orders.
Is IBM DPS-2500BB or similar unit on the table as well? Having a few of those monsters feed my hardware would be pretty neat.

Where do you guys buy the pcie cables with connector attached already?

bringing this up again:
Delta DPS-835AB, Artesyn 7001138-Y000, IBM x3650 3655 835W (12.1V 69A) Power Supply
at 835W, these units turn on with a simple pin shorting (pins 3 and 4 - which are easy to bend into contact and place a small solder bead across) and have large, well-spaced sockets that can either be filled with wire leads and solder, or have the outer plastic snipped away to expose the metal contacts.
I converted a unit with about 20min, some AWG14 leads, and a few different sizes of heat shrink (1 size for the leads and 1 size to seal off the entire terminal to any accidental contact or shorting). I plan to post some pictures shortly, but right now its doing an excellent job of powering a 7-card bitfury system usin 2+ and 2- power lines that experience no warmth. It will also power an antminer shortly, either using 1+ and 1- per blade (pushing it a bit) or 4 wires to one blade and a seperate PSU for the other

I have got 5 Z/N750P units here so I could go in for say 6-7.

Ok, the FCI 51915-064LF part discussion has come to a dead-end. Our only option is to place a large enough order to get the factory to manufacture another run. Minimum quantities look like 200+. Do we have that much interest? If so, we have a couple ways to move on this. I've got quotes for ordering these, which I've forwarded to sidehack.
Im in for at least that number, so yes.

Finally found some information on how to turn on the HP Common Slot Power Supplies:
http://www.rchelination.com/setting-hp-dps-1200fb-power-supply/
Still looking for a connector though.

Still looking for a connector though.
Here are few more details (Pin37 has 12V standby power and Pin30 is a ground):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've confirmed the following connector can work, but it's not an exact match:

Here's a picture of how it matches up. Notice some of the data pins connect on the ground plane and also, there is some over hanging on the left:
I'll give a $100 in BTC to the person that can find me an exact match!
