I got my RockMiner R-BOX today and they didn't each come with a wallwart like I thought. But this means I can just hook it up to my 600W PSU that I have just laying around.
The power things I got plug right into the r-box and the other end is a red and white wire. Can someone please tell me how I would go about hooking that up to my PSU.

lookup doggie's setup guide for rbox. there's search box in upper right corner Thanks, but it doesn't seem like he shows a method to hook it up to an actual PSU. |

You could cut a wire on the PSU (should be the molex cable) connect the red(Rbox) to the yellow(PSU) and white(rbox) to the black(PSU) it should work. |

They can be powered off any 2.5mm DC barrel connector, so any 12v supply of at least 7A with that connector |

Connect the red r-box wire to a yellow PSU wire, and the white r-box wire to the ground (black) wire on the PSU. |

And the PSU I have is a cx600m. All the wiring is black, I just looked and I don't see my multimeter. So it looks like I will have to use a schematic or something to find out what one is "yellow" and what is "black".

I'm in Ohio sorry the little yellow box shown by minersource is pretty good. I have one of them and I am running some gridseed blades with it. cablez has a thread on this site direct plug-in to your atx psu and to your r-boxes .. i think his gear is a little better then the box minersource has. but for me I have both. |

1 - please do not try to make your own cable without a volt meter to verify your work.
2 - please do not cut the cables out of your power supply. The power supply has a much longer useful life than any mining hardware you buy today.
3 - please do not try to make your own cables without a volt meter to verify your work.
4 - see #3
You are not going to get 7 R-Box connected via molex adapters. They have PCI-E to barrel adapters for sale but they generally won't work on R-Box.
A 20 dollar break out board is probably your best choice at this time, but please, pretty please, find your volt meter before you plug anything into a miner.
