Another thing that is also interesting at the moment is the difficulty swooping down. Assuming the total hash rate has just dipped, I'd guess a couple big players have simply dropped off the market for now (could be too encourage sales into the market now, which would be a very clever marketing tactic). This is all complete speculation though as I haven't properly checked the hash distribution charts, nor have I been keeping track of their progression in the past couple days. Been too busy with my job, a real secure income! haha Maybe the down trend is Bitmain taking units offline from their S3 farm in order to package them up and ship. +1 ...of course ... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) As several people noted, they plan to mine with their S3's for a bit, then sell their used units to noobs on Ebay. Assuming Bitmain (and the other mining manufacturers) implement a similar strategy, then we are their noobs ;-) +1 ...of course ... again... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Little difference is...We (I) are NOT a newbies ...but this is our best choice ...for now... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

While I suppose it could, I wouldn't use it. It's got 2 12V rails and only has 2 PCI-e connectors, so no chance of over clocking your S3.

might not not be enough for 2 ants at max overclock of 554Gh It's only got 6 PCI-e, so you couldn't over clock the two anyway. Should work fine for 1 overclocked and 1 stock.

might not not be enough for 2 ants at max overclock of 554Gh It's only got 6 PCI-e, so you couldn't over clock the two anyway. Should work fine for 1 overclocked and 1 stock. people keep citing this 6 pci-e number, but it is incorrect: it has 6 cords, but eight connectors-see on pictures (it is clearly visible; two cords have double pci-e, bringing total to eight) yep i just posted this about the 1300 watt model at amazon it is a super solid deal 154 after rebate... also if you have a discover card or a chase card you may be able to get it cheaper .. here is how . this is gasoline discount quarter with some chase cc's and some discover cc's. go to a gas station that sells amazon gift cards and buy 150 worth of gift cards with your chase or discover card. they will earn 5% so the 150 is really 142.50 .. So you can buy the evga 1300 psu for under 146 usd if you can do the gift trick and the rebate. monster deal for s-3's

Should work fine for 1 overclocked and 1 stock. incorrect about total number of connectors-see philips post however, with rebate it looks like a great deal if you don't plan to overclock to the max

I push the 1300's since they will do 3 with no oc =really sure about this and they can do 4 with under clock/undervolt = hope to do this. I did 4 s-1's with ease could have done 5 with the under volt-- down clock .

I saw six cables and didn't notice that two of them are doubles. So 8 total. Even so you're stretching the capacity of the psu running 2 s3s on it. I'd go with the 1300, which also has the same cabling. Nice catch and thanks for pointing it out! EDIT: I just picked one up. Thanks for the link to Amazon phillma1957! $188.99 - $35 rebate for a total of $153.99, free 2-day shipping with Prime membership. Heck of a deal ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

My s-1's are now underclocked.. waiting for my s-3's to put my second 1300 evga back to use.
