How many watts? You mean this thing (a single blade) eats more than 1000
watts?
I can procure one 800-W 48V DC switching power supply locally for a few $.

Perhaps I didn't describe it properly. What I picked up is the FULL
ENCLOSURE with only TWO Xeon blades.
The rest are fitted with I could only describe as "dummy blades" that are
empty tin cases with a front plastic handle. I guess those are used as
placeholders for the rest of the blades that you can eventually install in
the enclosure...

btw: I'm down at the Southern end of South America... .AR more precisely.
