[Nottingham] ATX2 argh!

[Michael Simms]

Hi guys,

Im at my wits end, Ive been learning all about how ATX isnt ATX any more

It seems there is now 'ATX2' which is being used on new xeon
motherboards. I foudn this out when I bought a case for a new server,
and it didnt have enough pins on the power supplies for the motherboard.
So, I thought 'must be something about needing a 600W power supply, I'll
get a new 600W power supply. This arrives and again, wrong number of
pins. So, I do a bit more research...

Now new ATX motherboards need 24 pin main power and 8 pin 12v power

yay

So, Ive been looking round nottingham and cant find ANYWHERE that will
sell it, nowhere at all. Does anyone know of a shop I could try that
will see me a) a 20 pin to 24 pin converter and b) a 4 to 8 pin
converter.

I have tried maplins, they have them  backordered, mid-may expected, I
tried a few locals most of them werent even aware of them, beyond 2000
doesnt answer the phone, I even resorted to pc world and nothing. I
really would like to try and get this sorted today - Ive had this damned
server now for over a week and been unable to use it for one reason or
another.

(its been suggested just get a new PSU that supports the correct pinning
- I would but they START at 120 pounds. I dotn think so!)

Any suggestions, a computer shop I dont know of that may sell them, Id
be very appreciative...

*frustrated*
