The miners look to be made well and the current one I have is hashing at almost 6.5Th.  The fact that these can be used on 110v power since they only use 900 watts or so is a bonus.  power requirements are 6x 6-pin PCIe power connectors (3 for each board) and my killawatt shows around 1000 watts, but you cant use my numbers as they only way I could power this with 110v (in order to use my killawatt) was to use 2 power supplies (1 for each hashing board).  So true power usage with 1 power supply should be closer to the 900 watts.

Are they swtichmode powersupplies? As in do they provide 240V and 110V or just 110V?

power supplies are NOT included.  I used my own and was just testing these miners on 110v in order to get a killawatt reading (i should really get a 220v model).  the real issue here is these miners are actually a real product and they perform as advertised.  Anyone wanting to get some hash power in a relatively short amount of time (compared to Bitmain) should look into these as a potential solution.

one issue I do have with these miners that I didnt bring up initially is that the placement of the 6x pci-e power connectors and the RJ45 network plug is on the same side as the direction the air is coming out.  I have my miners currently in a setup where the hot air is being blown out a window, so I cant make a "nice" fit due to the power and network cables running around the miner to the back.  I dont run a large mining operation (4 or 5 miners max at a time) so it really doesnt pose that big of an issue to me.  if I were to have several of these it would pose a problem, but with 2 I just deal with it.
