How convenient. For KNC.

Then they should have been charging much less than they were. That didn't stop Avalon from shipping psu's with my order. Came without a hitch or extra charge.

We're not talking about convenience here, we're talking about a fact. It's good to hear that your Avalons arrived with their PSUs without any problems, but customs in other countries can be a bitch in this regard.

Not sure how a cost of USD 100-250,- for a PSU would result in charging "much less". That's not even 5% of the price of a first batch Jupiter. Also, what if you already happen to have a proper PSU at home, say, from a previous mining rig? Congrats, you just paid USD 250,- extra for a PSU you didn't need.

Like I said, nothing wrong with HashFast now adding a proper PSU to their miner, as long as they are aware of regulatory specifications outside of the US (e.g. the CE markings in Europe).

It's just rather meaningless to say a USD 7000,- device is overpriced for not adding a USD 250,- PSU. If you pay USD 7000,- for a device and get a USD 250,- PSU for "free" it just means you could have probably just gotten the device for USD 6750,- without the PSU. That's the thing with "free" and "included" things. You pay for it either way.
