Rant Worst nightmare came true.

Supermicro. We have very limited selection of stuff here in Canada in general, it sucks. In fact it's worse now that we lost Tigerdiret and NCIX as they were really the only ones that even had server stuff. My next builds will be whitebox as it's really the only option now. Ebay is too expensive because of shipping.

It's crossed my mind to open a business just so I can get access to suppliers like Ingram micro as they tend to have larger selection. They tend to have minimum order amounts per year though.

Supermicro is bog standard. Assuming you don't live in a small town of 500 folks, no way that someone eventually travelling to the U.S. for a longer trip couldn't source a PSU for you and bring it back?

I have a hand-crank PSU for my PC. It goes well with the punch cards I use to post on ATOT.

That's quite a lot of trouble just for a PSU. I stick to stuff I can just buy online here without jumping through a bunch of hoops and having to get somebody else involved. I'm like 600-800km away from the border depending what route you take, it's not like it's just a day drive.
