If anyone cares this is the power supply / charger that came with the unit:
It does get nice and warm when running the unit at top speed:
I want to put a kill-a-watt unit on it to see what it's really pulling from the wall but have to run out to take care of some things.

yeah the dell is a better psu but it is $100 .
Once I get my miner I will use the dell.
I will put a meter on it to see if it is better than the stock one.
If it does not save 5-10 watts an hour the dell will never pay for itself.
10 watts savings would be 90 or 100 kwatts a year which is 14 dollar at my house.
so 30 vs 100 means five years to save the outlay.
if you are at 20 cent power 10 watts savings is around 20 a year so 3.5 years to make up for the outlay.
