How to build a $20 47A power supply

[florianz]

Hi guys,

I finally got the server p/s like pictued above. The question is, how to get power.
With an old servo plug I got at least the fans running, running slowly.

But no power yet. Then I tried to connect some of the pins to the big plugs. And hey, I got some volts:


The fans are completely on now,and pretty loud too.

Detailed view on the pins

like that, I get the power finally on.

but what is what, here some pics




so I think, the top three are minus/ground, the lower three contacts are plus.

I got my degree on the MIT, still I need your help
I think I am on the right track. So I can solder three plus/minus cables? in total?

When I am right, I just got a very powerful p/s for just USD 3,47, not quite expensive for about 1000 watts...

Of course I will replace that bloody screw.

Thanks a lot for your input!
