So after reading that through, is there any valid reason for that single/multi-rail switch? The only reason I could see is the "safety buffer", but I don't see why I should have to choose between the easy single rail and the "safer" multi-rail. IMO, if they offer a single rail, it darn well better handle whatever is thrown at it. If it can't handle it, they shouldn't offer it in the first place. Am I missing something?
If Silverstone wants companies to use this PSU as a server unit, it must have multiple +12V rails as dictated by the EPS12V specifications. All server PSUs must meet SSI specifications in order to be used with Intel and other prcessors in a server environment.

Here is some more info:
