Well I finally got my unit,

But my questiion to the users here is which PSU has been confirmed to work and be stable without burning out ?

Glad you got your unit, but sorry to hear of the TPLink damage.  Anyway for PSU's here's my experience:

Don't use Solid Gear 750 Neutron (burned out overnight), or CoolerMax 1000U (2 burned out, one over night, the other after a couple days).

What does seem to be solid for me (OC'ing BTW) is:

Corsair HX1050      and     OCZ  Z-series 850

Basically, I think you need a good PSU with more than 62A on the 12V rail, but one that has all the best protections built-in, e.g. over/under-volt, over/under-amp, etc.  Good name and more power than you think you need seem to help, but no guarantee.

I was also able to run a Solid Gear 850 Neutron for a couple days but I pulled it since I didn't trust it after the 750.  Hope this helps!
