The question then becomes, are you getting the same price a reseller would who orders a similar quantity? Because if that's the case then they can put it up their butts.

I make a breakout board for that PSU with an external turnon signal, active high.

If you wire that external on to your computer's PSU (any rail 3.3V to 12V), when the computer goes live it'll turn on the server PSU and when the computer's PSU powers down it'll turn off the server PSU. All my breakout boards have always had this feature, with in mind to allow what it sounds like you want to do.

That could work.

If it works well enough, we could keep rotating buys like that as a regular thing for a while. Certainly seems to be demand.

Well, balls.

Guess I'm bringing in a hundred PSUs for nothing, unless the BTC issue gets resolved. Still hoping for that, because this was gonna be a pretty cool thing to get done.

Hopefully they'll be able to work it out. I mean it's an $80k sale just sitting in their laps with exactly one not unreasonable condition.

I thought those studs looked like a Cointerra innards, but I didn't recognize the PSU connector as being from them at all. Nifty.

Am I collecting directly for PSUs? If I collect directly for re-shipping US orders that can all be done at once.

Also, looks like I have a solid hookup for PSUs at a reasonable price, should be shipping out to me tomorrow.

Final PSU kit price, $68.

That's one DPS1200-FB power supply, one of my breakout boards (which work for the whole HP Common Slot family plus the DPS800, have 12x PCIe jacks and nifty features like an external turnon signal) and six 18" cables made with 16AWG wire.

Barring the unforseen, this is solid.

No. I don't provide power cords because a lot of people want to run these on 240VAC and, depending where you live and how your stuff is wired, you could be using one of about a dozen different cords and I really don't want to keep track of all that.

(I am okay with that)

I might have to raise the price on PSUs. I was trying to get ahold of my supplier in the last couple days but he didn't respond until this morning, something about weekends and holidays. I don't really get it.

Anyways the price he quoted me for PSUs was about $15 more than I had been paying for the last year or so. I'll do my best to knock that down but the $65 kit price might not be possible.

If it winds up being cost-effective for everyone, I have no qualms handing off overseas to you, Phil. Anyone who wants to handle the overseas paperwork himself is still welcome to send me labels.

This needs further coordination, but there's time for that. Pretty much, I go where I'm towed.

And folks please remember what I said about international shipping. I put in about 240 hours at the shop in August just trying to keep up with 2Pac manufacture, so if I'm coordinating a hundred miners instead of the expected 60 or so, on top of everything else I already don't have time to do, wrangling all the paperwork for internationals is gonna suck so y'all need to either do it yourselves or find a US-based forwarding service.

I'm fine with 1 unit. Also, since these only need 6 cables a PSU kit is $65.

I'm right off I44, which hits both Oklahoma and Texas. Wouldn't be too hard to coordinate, though that might want to be done elsewhere that it doesn't clog up the sales thread.

Sure enough it is. I was remembering the dual pairs on the 721, hadn't actually looked at what changed for the 741. I'll have to check with my PSU supplier but a 6-cable kit I can probably do more like $65.

Y'all beat me to the punch. I was going to say, if these are shipped to me for distribution I can provide 1200W PSU kits for - these take 8 cables, right? Let's call it $70 apiece.

I have no problem reshipping within the US, or overseas via a forwarding service (which means I still ship to a US address). Anyone else wanting overseas treatment, I'd prefer to get a label. Talk to Phil, I guess, about whether or not this GB is open to the whole world.

One problem with your estimated deadline, Phil, is that I'm going to be out of town afternoon 14th through part of the day 18th. This has been scheduled for a year so I'm not changing that plan. But I can make sure I'm here for a delivery Monday. That only shifts things a few days.

I might go for one. Haven't really done much mining in a while, which is crazy since I both manufacture and host miners. Newest thing I own is a hacked S7LN and one half-dead Avalon6.

Honestly that's not a difficult benchmark.

My 100KW hosting center uses solid shelving with a backing isolating the hot exhaust from the rest of the room, with cut-to-fit penetrations for miners. Everyone who's asked me for advice on setting up miners en masse, I've told them to do just that. Hot aisle isolation is the most important thing for keeping a cooling system efficient.
