hi

I think I'm about to get my BFL single without PSU, though this is yet uncertain.
I plan to see whether it comes with a PSU and if not just buy one the same day.

What PSU should I look for? I understand it should be >= 300W, but how do I
tell if it work without a MB? What should it say on the box?
I'm not looking for specific model names, since it's quite likely they don't have in the local
shops here. Just general instructions what should I search for on the box.

If your getting a 60GH Single,look for 500 watt(always have 200 watt to spare),Single rail PSU.You'll use 2 PCI Express 6pin power cables.

Something like this with great reviews will do:

To power a PSU without a mobo:
