I'm looking for a single power supply to power an Antminer S1 and a BFL60. Suggestions?

The S1 needs about 400 watts and the BFL60 needs about 300 watts; clearly need a buffer range too, so I'm looking for something at least 800 watts.

Done with this forum. Goodbye all.

My suggestion is to set fire to the BFL60 unit. You are burning more in electricity than you are making back.

Having said that, my go-to power supply is a Corsair AX-1200 for running multiple miners with plenty of buffer range.

Agree with Xian01. BFL 60Gh/s unit should be sold to someone in Canada, they have cheapest power in the world.

As for the power supply question - I use IBM 850W power supplies with AWG16 custom cables. Each power supply roughly adds 35W (total draw going 100% load + power supply itself (fans, logic, dc/dc convertors, monitoring, etc)) ~ 885W. A bit noisy - however outputs stable 12V under full load. Cheap - you can buy 6 of them on ebay for $100 delivered.
