What vendor? I was missing my PSU's and my USB cables from my order. Waiting for an update from the vendor.
I have several of the HP 1200W server PSUs from old G5 servers. I was thinking about trying to wire those up to the miners, since they provide 12V @ 100A.
If each miner (in dual mode) 70W, which is about 6A, then I could power up to 15 on a single PSU. I would probably have to wire everything to a terminal block, but that's no big deal.
Those PSU's are going for about $25 on ebay, so much cheaper than an ATX unit at the same wattage.
