So I bought a used DIY case with a sketchy synthrotek power supply off craigslist - a terribly thought out move that I will certainly not do again. I'm trying to find a new one, but I need it to fit these criteria:

  1. Needs to be able to power a rack with 2470 mA on the +12, 1102 mA on the -12, nothing on the 5 (for now)

  2. Needs to be able to power a 9U 104Hp case

I've been having trouble finding something that seems like it'll work. I'm under the impression that you're supposed to leave about 20% of the mA for headroom, but doesn't that mean I would need to have something with more than 3000 mA? Does such a thing even exist? Do I just do multiple supplies at that point? I'm honestly thinking about just getting another case, might even move up to a 3x126 if that ends up happening
