Hey you can build your own, you know. Just get a switching regulator of the same voltage and higher amperage. I'm not advertising, but I recommend you check out some electronics supply stores like Jameco or Mouser.

P.S. I'm a DIY guy so I would know  Smiley

I received a power supply replacement from BFL about 4 days after they emailed me back, but unfortunately they didn't get back to me for about 7 days. This was for a BFL Single FPGA earlier in the year as well. They do honour the warranty but sometimes it takes a little waiting.

A lot of people reply here. If no one has a answer to your question, then they are not... So dont ask hard questions...

First of all, you've actually received a product from bfl?

Regarding the power adapt. I'm sure you can just swap with something store bought. If not probably tons of electro-type shops that can help you out with something custom.

Can you specify what you have?  What was the old power supply rated at?

I know nothing of BFL, assumed you needed a barrel plug from what someone else here said.

From some more looking it appears BFL singles use PCIe plugs. Therefore I revise my previous statement, just need to find a best buy and an ATX power supply.

If you wern't such a moron you could have figured it out on your own. Aint you never seen a graphics card before?
