A lot of these devices are above 12v so with that said yes it can be done but it would require a special power supply that puts out enough watts and enough volts at whatever the voltage is cut the power ends leaving the ferrite on make sure you keep center Pin Positive or Negative whatever they are or meter to find positive and negative before you fully cut them off the bricks and viola a power supply. I’m guessing a lab power supply would likely come close to what you need its adjustable in voltage and amperage.
I’m currently in the stages of taking the other route I want multiple cores and virtual machines = less electricity. Looking at getting cloudmin running only 75 big ones a year less than I would spend on having another rig up a whole year. IDK just seems like it’d be the way to roll if you ask me beef up one server run KVM and viola done deal. Everything managed from any TV in any room of the house with a video network and a switch 4k management of multiple servers with a single server sipping electricity. The savings in electric will pay for the expense over time. So no point in cheaping out here. Bit of a curve at the moment but I’ll get there.
