Silverstone also makes a 350W 80+ Gold unit that, while not modular, is good quality and readily available on places like Amazon

Actually all are not working except 5v standby. I reached out and asked if there's something I missed or if it's just a defective unit. The seller is one of those electronics recyclers that buys in bulk and lists on ebay, so it's likely they don't do super thorough testing

So I got around to testing this thing today, and it won't start. The Mobo's green LED comes on which tells me +5Vsb works fine, but nothing else seems to work. "Jump starting" the power supply with a paper clip doesn't work either. I also measured the PG (Power Good) voltage when the paper clip...

What kind of case are you using? I don't know of any cases that fit this type of power supply natively. They are both wider and longer than FlexATX, and won't fit in an SFX spot without some modifications.

You seem very knowledgeable about PSU's so I'll ask you: what do you think of having the CPU and GPU on the same rail? Is it a problem to load one rail at like 80% and another at like 10%? I've heard that it's not too much of a problem because multi-rail power supplies are usually fed by one...

Something I've been trying to research a lot lately and have come up short with finding anyone who has done this is modifying some decommissioned server power supplies to work with a desktop system. They're super cheap on eBay, are made by reputable manufacturers such as Delta, and generally...
