Also what causes the lockups and need for reseting the current miners, is it in the chips themselves or the interface circuitry.

The miners itself, as well as the usb hub are definitely not the problem. I've connected them to a Raspberry Pi, running cpuminer it's rocksolid!
No lockups at all. Right now I'm testing this with cgminer which looks very promising.

Another nice thing to know:
First I used the original PSU's. With 2 PSU's and 10 miners the complete system was running 90Watt @ 850Mhz (scrypt without fans).
I swapped the two PSU's for a platinum rated 450Watt PSU. Now the complete system is running 70Watt @ 850Mhz (scrypt without fans).

Thanks for the info, good to know as would not want to put out all that money for a 15Mhs unit
and have the same lockup issues as the individual miners. As for the power supply maybe the power
supply does not have enough balls for the peak demand current that 10 of the miners draw?

Script only with no fans, ONE china power supply works just fine for 10 miners. Using a Pi and works great.
Ditch the Jack controller or wiibox and get a Pi. remember, script only only uses 1 amp per 10!

Interesting reading this amazing how the better PSU gets even better energy savings! Anyone have opinion of the best PSU to order would be appreciated.

I know it depends on if you dual mine, but please let me know what would be your first choice. (PS I am looking at ordering the cablez custom ATX loom for these)

That was the point of my post!!!
Its using ONE AMP!!! around 70 watts, what kind of saving is there using a top of the line P/S? not much!
Sure if it was burning thru 8 amps then sure go for it.

Thanks bobby, just interested in going over to a safer, stable and more compact PSU using the cablez new loom.

Overall I am trying to make this set as compact as possible using less stuff and much less wiring.

PS I know its miniscule but saving a few watts is a bonus!
