[57north-discuss] Parallella

[Dave Hibberd]

Those standoffs look like a really neat solution for distribution. For
the actual powering of the hardware, if you're feeling really
hackerspace-adventurous you could build one, because that's always fun -
5VDC/4x2A+25% headroom isn't too bad. 

Other options include a 4 gang US socket fed from a single 240-120V
transformer, or, as you say, 5V/10A (Accounting for fan current +
future PSU fatigue & assuming no future expansion) switch mode PSUs 
can be found pretty cheap online. :)

Failing that, I can offer you the work of some of our desert
technicians, who always manage to come up with a terrifyingly creative
solution to any issue we're having: http://imgur.com/kt9idNA
