PSUs, specifically at Amp, the Tagan U22 480 has two 12v rails giving a total of 30amps. Are you sure this is enough?
Finding single rail PSUs is really quite hard.

Folding type rig - What do I need?

AT the moment my rig is running with combined rails (30A) and seems completly stable so i would say yes. I think above 30A is just to be extremely on the safe side to be honest. Unfortunatly OCUK dont do the U15 480W but that may be a better bet unless you want to spend a bit more and get the next size up (530W?) as the cables are modular. You will find there are rather a lot of unused cables in your rig and it is rather messy. At the moment mine are stuck out the other side of the case. not the best option but all i can really think of.
Ahhh, thanks Amp, the website doesn't say you can combine them. 
Just looked at THIS. 34A on the 12V rail, or am I missing something?

Yeah, they're (2.0 GHz Xeon SL6EM) good. Just not as good as the 1.6es.
Also, i'd ditch the link before a don sees it. No competitors and all that.

That seems ok yes, although it says a 6 pin xeon power cable, not 8.
I dont know if that would work but then it does say xeon power cable so...EDIT: Just remembered the 6 pin is an older version for p2 or p3 or something. That wont work unless you got an adaptor.

Uhhh there are loads of live links over in Motors and this thread is for the benefit of the folding community here. Do you really think I should remove it? Maybe I should report it myself and ask them to proceed accordingly?
EDIT: Oh I can't - can you do it for me?
Since OcUK doesn't sell automobile parts it's kosher to post ebay links to those things. However, OcUK does sell computer parts. It's Spie's business and Spie's forum so we have to play by his rules.

I know you're just trying to be helpful so I hope I haven't put you off.

Would that decrease stability or anything? It's cheaper than the Tagan so more attractive to me at the moment.Amp34 said:
I could make one easily enough from an old 20-pin connector if you let me know the wire colours going to each pin are.
'Aight then, this is the only photo I could dig up at work. It shows that the inner ones are all black (-12v?) and the outer ones are all yellow (+12v?). When I get home I can doublecheck those figures with a multimeter.
Thanks Billy, no need to check I just needed the colours.
