Should we use solid copper bars in a bus setup? You'll be pulling 2000 amps off the 5v, and 3000 off the 12V. We may wish to rethink the method of hooking up our 46000 watt power supply. I suspect a bus may be a better way, and probably easier to setup and maintain. And much more fun when you drop a screwdriver across it.
