Thats not too bad, you should expect 2 days from China anyway. So you didnt lose mining time over the weekend.

Yes but rebate only for 1 (which is same @microcenter) and 2-day shipping was $44.95 (10.98 @mc)..  Plus you can return to local store with microcenter, must pay return shipping to Newegg.. for the $6 diff I went with local return.

unfortunately not all of us are close to a microcenter.  you could do what i am personally doing and order (2) 750w power supply kits from this site http://www.gekkoscience.com/products/D750_supply_breakout_board.html and you can connect them together to provide a steady 1500w.  the kits with PS, board, and 4x 6-pin cables cost a measly $70 each.  you can read the thread about this setup here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379677.  more power, lower cost, more versatility.

These server PSU's are very loud so take that into consideration depending on where you will be running your miner.

Become a NewEgg premier member.  For $50 a year, free 3-day shipping, discounts on 2 and 1 day shipping, and free return shipping.  I've been a member since it became available about 2 months ago, and I've already recouped the cost on shipping.

edit: looks like it's for "qualifying" items only.  So far all of my stuff has qualified.  And no restocking free without the "qualifying" items clause.

Same here.  Although...it has not been received by UPS yet.  So it has not left the building at this point.

The S2 is so loud that I can't imagine the server PSU having too much of an effect.  I wish I'd gotten the S2 in late December, it would have done an awesome job keeping my garage at a good temp!

I did the shoprunner thing Newegg was pushing before.  If you cancel during the trial, they offer you a chance to extend it for 3 months (totally free) which automatically turns into a year if you use the service 3 times in that 90 day period.  On top of that, shoprunner will give you a full free year if you have an AMEX card.  I've been getting it for free for a while and still have about a year left of free, I think.

Nothing beats a 1200axi.

Nothing beats a 1200axi.

Looks neat... but for what?  Only 100a on the 12v line.  Most people here aren't going to be plugging into a USB header to get output.  And expensive!!

Rosewill 1300 is $100 cheaper, 108a on the 12v line (so can drive 3xS1 OCd), and is also "up to 92% efficient" despite being gold and not platinum.
