Thanks everyone for helping me with this issue. I ended up with an S5 now (Bitmain replaced my S3 with S5 after a series of follies on their part that caused substantial delays in repair). I think I am just going to get the 1000 watt Bitmain PSU for the S5 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S5-1000W-PSU-Power-Supply-complete-kit-to-power-a-Antminer-S5-/171905659195?hash=item280660313b) and then get another S3 for the PSU I was using before for my old S3 that broke. Seems like the safest way to play this and will also be very profitable.

Running an S3 is not profitable unless you have "free" (i.e. stolen) electricity.
