This is kinda more related to hardware, and since this forum doesn't have a hardware section, I'm gonna kinda assume that server administrators might have more expertise in this area.. so I hope this is ok to put here.. Basically, are there any power supplies that I can "jumper" permentaly. My goal is: I have an empty atx case, but as far as I'm concerned, its an 8 bay hard drive NAS case or how ever you want to look at it. I had the default power supply in it, and I jumpered the green and the black pin to keep the power on WITH OUT a motherboard and it worked great! But after a month or so, the power supply did die, as all the blogs/forum post suggested it would. Is there any thing I could do to power 8 hard drives in an empty case, with out a failing power supply? do they make power supplies that are able to run with out a motherboard? or perhaps an option I have yet to find? Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
