I have a Hyperion 1420i 550W charger on the way and so am on the hunt for a high power (>700W) 24V supply for it.
I've seen posts with 2x 12V Server Power Supplies hooked together in series which looks like a nice reliable solution, but unsure where to get hold of these quickly and cheaply in Australia.
I have noticed on on ebay and other Chinese shopping sites etc an abundance of cheap 12V, 24V and 48V switching power supplies. They are usually listed as a "Power Supply Driver For LED Strip Light Display" or similar. eg)
24V 15A 360W DC Switch Power Supply Driver For LED Strip Light Display

Or

At $27 each and free shipping, I could have two delivered for $54 giving me a cheap 24V 720W supply for the Hyperion charger.
Apart from quality (another reason to buy two), is there any electrical reason why these are unsuitable as a PS for chargers?
Does anyone have any experience in using these as PS for their chargers?
