"not enough space in the used server for a standard power unit"

I wanted to put a dedicated graphics card in there for interference experiments - but the server is, well, a server - and those high availability PUs are expensive and a hell to cable manage

But a Dremel I had at hand ... And a second PU as well. Now my server has a second power unit which is only powering the graphics card and is short circuited to be always-on.

self-made problems require self-made solutions.
