  1. I guess I was looking at this and in the top graph, it looked like there were a few times when the power spiked near what looks more like 240W actually. I know it's just for a second, but I'm not sure what the tolerance of the DA-2 is and also in the future didn't know if I would be using a slightly more power hungry card.. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-pascal-performance,4585-7.html
  2. Well, good point, actually yeah, I checked into it and found some reviews and it was a bit loud, but I settled on this and ordered one, and it's not very loud at all, plus inside the case I'll build it should be quieter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAC9MO6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 360W 12V 30A Temperature Regulated Switching Power Supply I'm probably going to end up putting in a nVidia 1070, but from the reviews I read they can spike to 250W?, but the 360W PS should be more than enough for that. Plus with it's shape I should be able to fit it nicely below and still have room for an extra low power fan to draw cool air in the front which should help it from heating up and revving up the PS fan.
  3. Would the process of supplying power to the GPU and Enclosure for the Thunder2 work with the Thunder3 box? https://www.akitio.com/expansion/thunder3-pcie-box I ordered one and it's on its way, and I was considering just powering it from a power supply, this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D670P-S0-0HY105-Power-Supply/dp/B00718Z86A/ref=pd_day0_147_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z245ZTZJGFDTCD7WYKMM It seems like it would fit well underneath the case, and I was going to laser cut an acrylic housing to attach it. There's pinout references here: http://www.tjinguytech.com/my-projects/server-ps I was worried about using the Dell 220W since I wanted to use a higher end graphics card, not necessarily because of the power, but moreso because of the latest DX features, and I read in the thread that the power spikes may be too much for those. Any red flags anyone notices?
