I'll second that, I believe people use them for RC chargers sometimes. I used the HP DPS 600PB for trying to drive a number of peltiers. I think mine only did less than 50A, will look into the model you mentioned.

I assume none of the blade PSUs also output 5VDC?

If you can pick up a DS850-5 it'll give you 12v @ 70A and 5v @ 4A. It'll have noisy fans that run constantly, though.

Most applications of such a power supply (like blade servers) would have a bunch of secondary SMPSes generating lower voltages from the 12v rail.
