I have a BFL 60 ASIC that didn't catch on fire - that's pretty rare because the other 4 units just like it all either blew caps, fried their boards or flat out burst into flames.

Maybe I can someday find Josh at throw it at his head.

But their PSUs work pretty well on 220V power.

$75 for the APW3++ right now on Amazon.  Order some decent 6 pin to 6+2 pin adapters and they become useful for GPU builds.  If you order on Amazon, at this price they will typically offer you 3 to 4 years of SquareTrade insurance type coverage for $2-3.  Crazy.
Does SquareTrade actually honor the warranty for the PSUs if there was some sort of failure in the PSU during normal operation and the thing happened to break? I've never bought the warranty from SquareTrade anywhere before, but this seems like a great deal compared to getting used APW3s on eBay for a couple bucks less especially with Prime. I might just get one with the money I have left over in my Amazon account if so- 3 years of protection for a buck and a half seems great. Just worried they might not cover something like this.
