Hello all.... new to this forum though I've been active in bitcoin for about 6 months.
I'm contemplating the purchase of a few of these S3 miners, and I'm just wondering if anyone has tried using this power supply to run them:
I do realize that it probably won't be sufficient to OC but seems like it should work fine at stock speed.
Any thoughts?
I haven't personally, but the real cost is finding the cabling.
Since I do have some PC/electronics experience I had planned to make the cables.... I found the connectors here:

Cables will be made using 16 ga wire, 6 to 12 inches in length (depending on PS placement in relation to miner) so as to avoid the overheating issues mentioned elsewhere on this thread.
