I looking for any information i can find on where to buy a backplane and power supply that will support the Bitfountain 10.7 GH/s Blade miners.

All suggestions and comments are welcome.

Thanks

I have seen them on eBay. But if you look on amazon.com, Jones Gear sells the backplane a lot cheaper, ($120) thought you may have to wait a few days for them to be available.

The power supply, also on amazon:

I purchased ($31) and am currently using that one. Good for 10 blades.

Art, I just got my backplane powered up with one of these and it's REALLY loud. About as loud as a blender or maybe a vacuum cleaner. Is that normal? If so are there any quieter alternatives? Thanks.

This one makes a very small amount of noise. But nothing as loud as you say.

I also have this one:

It is essentially the same rating, also for the Proliant DL-380, also rated for 1000w, but I found it to be much quieter, so quiet in fact I had to look and make sure the fans were running.

Did you look and see that the fans are not rubbing against the grille?

Previously, I received one of these that the grille that covers the fans was slightly bent, causing the fan blades to rub, that one made a wicked noise.
