Feels like I haven't been on here in forever..
Anyways on to the point..

Here is the motherboard if you need to view it:
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...XDREL-XEON24-R

Now I need some help with the power supply,

Number One:
How much power would I need?

I have an Echo Star 580W 20+4-pin PSU I would like to use but need to know if I need more power..

Here that is if you would like to view it:

Number Two:
The board itself has a 24+8-pin slot.. would I be able to "convert" my PSU to match the board? and if so where can I find a converter.. I haven't been able to find much on google..

Anyways, any advice about anything listed above or anything else is more than welcome and appreciated, thanks in advance for your help guys!

wow .............. there is no way a power supply that costs $14.99 can be worth a hoot !!

as for 24 + 8 the 24pins are the main motherboard connector .......... the plus 8 pin refers to the "two" 12volt power feeds needed to run two cpu's

I would not try this with anything less than the Corsair 750-TX or PC Power & Cooling 750 silencer

dont hesitate to ask more questions .............
