Ik heb nog een stukje gevonden op het internet.
Hier worden nog wat bruikbare voedingen beschreven.
Thought it might be useful to gather this in the one place.
The practice of converting computer SERVER power supplies to make a very high quality high power supply at low cost is attractive. It doesn’t normally require any modification to the supply but the hard part is figuring out how to trick them into turning on. Far and away the best way is to find someone who has already done it. I have put down a few references I know about and welcome additions.
This is about SERVER supplies which often have large 12V capacity and not much else; it is NOT about converting normal PC power supplies. (The ‘ground the green wire and add a load resistor’ stuff). That is covered extensively elsewhere.
UPDATE There are now available supplies for PCs that have substantial 12V rails and large (850-1200 Watt) capacity that work without any electrical conversion. If you have used one of these, suggest you start a separate thread.
Please, please. This is a REFERENCE thread. Just post a link (with comments) to other posts that show how to do it if you know of one that isn’t here.
IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION OR JUST WANT TO COMMENT OR HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT CONVERTING A PARTICULAR SUPPLY please do it somewhere else (like the original threads for example or PM me). Obviously info on sources of supply for these devices is welcome though – please post that if you know it, as well as any errors that need correcting.
Bottom Line: If you have an unknown supply you need help with, try a post in the original 12v 100A supply thread (link 2 below) which seems to have a good range of posters - or start a new one with a specific title that includes your question. That thread now has some good info on how to solve an unknown supply as well. See the first few posts. When/if you ever get it to work, then post the link to that info here to make it easier for others to find.
If you have an unknown supply and can't find the information from someone who has already solved it then this post contains the best information/links on how to establish which pins might turn it on and control the output voltage.

This is my thread on the HP PROLIANT DL580/ML570G3 which is a 12V 1300Watt supply. It's still my favourite for quality, power, small size and having a proper plug for the power cord BUT it's extremely noisy because of the two small high speed cooling fans. Most people will find its vacuum cleaner impression a PIA. Note that you have to take care to identify exactly which supply by the part number. There is a range of DL580 computers with different supplies.

This is earlb's thread on converting these. Was popular popular and remains a good solution. Decent power but much quieter because they are bigger. Easier to obtain and cheaper as well
The attached picture shows the HP 1300 Watt and ESP114 side by side (thanks earlb). The SMALLER one is the more powerful 1300W supply.

9) My current recommendation is the HP model DPS-600PB series ESP135 PS that is used in ProLiant DL380 G4 Rack Servers. It is rated at 575W, or 47A at 12V. It is compact, quiet and powerful and is easily modified to slow the fan down and isolate the DC out to make a 24V supply from two of them (see below under using two supplies). There is a detailed how-to on T Jin Tech's page here
https://sites.google.com/site/tjingu...projects/HP47A and feathermerchant has them as single or dual (24V) supplies. Akshu's thread (#11 below) on a kit to convert two supplies to 24V uses these ones. They are in the bottom left hand picture below.
Using two supplies in series to get 15 or 24V at high power.
Two of the DL580/ML570G3 supplies for example will supply 2600W at 24V on a 240V supply! Here’s the thread I started on the practice of connecting two supplies in series to get 24 Volts at high current. Becoming more relevant with the growth of 1000Watt chargers. Feathermerchant on the forums sells these already made up if you don't feel you have the knowledge to do it yourself.
WARNING
These supplies were never designed to be run in series. Here's a quote from someone who knows what he is talking about. Now we know much more about the internals of these supplies, the DC isolation method (see below) is preferable if you know what you are doing.
I must admit, I am more than a little concerned these days about folks connecting different power supplies in series without a full understanding of the dangers. High powered chargers demand more power, and to get it many people having heard of this practice are haphazardly connecting power supplies in configurations for which they were not designed for and have not been tested or CE certified.
All we can do is fight the good fight and continue to educate people. Every week now I get a call or two with a story about series connecting two random, disparate power supplies in an attempt to get more power - with varying success. I sincerely hope the chances of disaster are infinitesimally small and that most all modern supplies have adequate protection built in to avoid anything catastrophic. My concern is for the people playing around modified industrial or hobby grade equipment who don't understand the physics involved and that their actions may be potentially dangerous.
