In case anyone is interested, I got a newsletter from EVGA saying they have "B Stock" 500 watt PSUs for sale. It says they are 80 Plus Bronze and the model # is for the 500 Watt Bronze, but the picture is of their 500w 80 Plus (not bronze) PSU. And I can't find where it says why they are B Stock. But they're 20 bucks so might be worth a shot for some of you. http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-B1-0500-RX

I think we will off the thermal take 750Ws we have for $34.99 + shipping as a GB price, as well as the Dell Supplies for $46.99.

If it's the Bronze model, I have one myself that I'm running blizzards on. The single 12v rail is supper reliable (rated for 480watts on a 40A rail). I have it pulling ~390 watts at the wall without any trouble for a while now. I'm sure it could handle a single board, but probably only at 100 GH/chip-- no overclocking. It would only be for those needing to pinch pennies. It's hard to beat those Dell PSUs, especially with the breakout boards. Miners' best friend.

Make sure you have enough amps on the 12V rail. The sticker on your PSU should have a breakdown of each rail. Some cheaper power supplies use more than one rail, in which case you would have to make sure the rails powering your PCIe lines (or whichever lines you use with adapters) can supply the needed wattage. Ideally you would have a single 12V rail with at minimum 500W on that rail alone (~42+ Amps). I think most 750W single rail PSUs have upwards of 60 amps on the 12V rail, so you would be fine.

@marto74, thanks for providing this service! @all: Well this is a good result for us and I think it's our best chance to make good with our BA orders. I have a question: To get 12 boards hashing could one use a single controller with a USB hub Or put another way: whats the cheapest way to get them all speaking to controller/s

I believe the controller is a pc or raspberry Pi so all you need is a usb hub with lots of ports MS sells some.
