Saw this today over at HardOCP.

Looks interesting, though they're a bit expensive (about $20 each) compared to some other options out there like just shorting out pins or cable adapters.  Still nifty though.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Why not just connect the green and black wires on each power supply?  They can be daisy chained afaik.  I've only had need to try it with two so far.  $20 for an adapter cable is steep.  Decent 500w power supplies can be had for just shy of double that.

Since it uses a relay to trigger the power up of the second supply based on power on the first - I wonder what the delay is like? It will bring up second supplies only after first has reached high enough voltage to switch the relay.

I tend to think that jumping green wires is a better approach but this method, though more costly, is a quicker way to setup.

I'm going to bet that most people will be able to setup jumpered green wires in the few days it takes to order an adapter and wait for it to get shipped Cheesy

... as I mentioned http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=32439.0  Smiley

also it only took me half an hour to search through my junk and find some pins, solder them together and then put it all together
