This may seem like a noob question to most, but here goes;
I currently have a Blade V1, and a stratum proxy for slush's pool running on my pc 24/7.
If I purchase another miner, will this mean I'll have to purchase another PC to run a separate stratum proxy on? Or can I link them both to the same one.
Also, what would the power needed by both these devices + 120mm case fans be? Would I need 2 separate PSUs?
Really need to know, as site i'm purchasing off only has limited amounts of cubes!

For proxies, you can use the same one, but I've had better luck (better hashrate) running proxies for each blade/cube, each with their own port.  No need to run them on separate machines, just separated processes and ports (i.e. run multiple instances of the proxy on the same PC, just using different ports).  At one point, I had 9 different proxies running on the same machine with no problem - weaker machines might notice, but anything that's, say, 4 processes and has reasonable RAM should be able to do 4-8 with no problem at all.

My high clocked cubes drew 340 Watts if I remember correctly, with my very overclocked blades drawing 100-120 Watts.  You can run 2 cubes with a *GOOD* 750W PSU, but a bad one can't handle 2 even at 850W.
