I have the option between a COOLER MASTER RS600 for Eur 30 or a CORSAIR CX500 for Eur 50.

The seller pushes the most expensive one of course, but is it really worth to pay twenty euros more?

My CM 525 has been running my miners for a month.  Had an issue with them during a brown out...  had to shutdown the powersupplies for 2 mintues and restart them.. freaking crappy ass power in my area.

I will give the Cooler Master PSU a try.
If it fails after a few weeks, well, I get warranty back. I only lose a couple days mining which is anyway just a few euros.
If it is a little bit less efficient it will still take a year or so to save back those 20eur on electricity. By then the antminer should not be profitable anymore anyway.

Aii, good i didnt buy Cooler Master. Seems it only got 1 x PCI-e.
Heck, maybe I should just pay EUR 20 more for the corsair.

Or the server side PSU  Grin
