Thanks!

I doubt if the ones from your local store have the 3.5A PSU. For that price, I'm almost sure they come with the inferior 400mA or similar PSU as sold on the Bay. Have you verified it? If they do indeed have the 3.5A AC adapter, I sure would like to buy a bunch of them from your local store. Even with a 2.5A adapter, they'd still be dirt cheap. Where's your locality, BTW?

I only populated the front ports because I have exactly 35 miners (i.e. 7 x 5 = 35) in hand. I'll have more BEs coming in tomorrow.

I have personally confirmed that they have the 3.5A PSU (I have 4 in hand). This is from my campus electronics supply store.

Are you able to fit miners in the back ports? Have you tried mining with all 7? Also, how do you have the hubs connected (daisy chain or hub-spoke)?

Great setup once again.

I guess I misunderstood you. I thought you said you got the four hubs from MCM. In that case, I sure would like to buy some at your campus store if I get more miners in the future. Which campus is that? Perhaps you should add a link to the guide so people on here can buy them cheap. Alternatively, I already found a really dirt cheap source in China for the hubs and planning on pairing them with an 8A PSU which should give me some headroom when populating all seven ports. Like I said in my original post, I tested seven miners on the hub for a few hours and didn't experience any issues except for the fact that the wall wart got very warm though not uncomfortable to the touch.
