 Did anyone made the joke about 'swedish' asic miners comes in parts and you have to build them yourself because it is 'cheaper' that way?

If they sell chips alone only, it could be done...

Well, the joke is you still have to supply your own PSU. And not only that, you'll also need to supply your own power supply on switch since the miner won't do it itself, apparently.
Wouldn't a power supply tester with an on/off button be a nice, clean version of this? e.g. http://dx.com/p/pc-computer-atx-power-supply-tester-with-on-off-switch-black-132273



Nice suggestion and available for $5 on Amazon. Multi-use items = win

I have something similar but it doesn't stay on.  It turns off once you release the "on" button.  And from what I've read, the circuitry in these devices isn't really meant for constant power and will most likely fail... or worse... burn down your house.
