Any word on powering multiple 8 chip boards through the mini plane? I think I saw it uses an ATX connector, so I'll need a Desktop PSU to power it? And the OP mentions ~0.8W/GH - so if I rounded to 3W/chip i'd be under 50W for 2 boards right? Will a 430W PSU be enough power?

Thanks,

Yes it the miniplane will be powered by an ATX connector so you will need a psu for it. And each board will use about 20-25W each from a rough estimate at the full 2.7GH/sec. So your 430W PSU will have enough power it could infact power 8 boards and still have leftover power.
