I should have mentioned that the deal I posted is good for people going the normal PSU route. Of course server psu's can be cheaper. I have been researching them, but there seems to be too many variables to work out, or I'm overcomplicating things. Most every full guide I see shows using a 750w psu. I need my ants running at max gh/s no matter the extra cost of power because my power is cheap. And the 750 won't allow me to run 2 fully oc'd.
You can use IBM 2000w which is cheap again and very easy to use. Its server again psu but than u can run 4 s1 on one psu.

Just a headsup, the CX500 on sale at newegg for $50 + $20 rebate.

I have 1 on an oc'd ant and it works great. If you can find a way to turn in multiple rebates, then you can get a bunch of these at $30 each. Would only cost $150 to power 1TH/s.

You can do that with 3 of these for slightly more, but you can power 6 ants and no mail in rebates

I'm most interested in 1l1l11ll1l's setup. I was going to convert all my psu's to server ones for my S1 ants, but in the end it may be too costly and time consuming after buying server psu's plus all the extra bits you need, it adds up. My current train of thought is to just upgrade all my S1's to S2's in a few months and sell all the S1's. Since the S2's come with a decent psu and is easy to upgrade using a normal computer psu, then I don't even need to worry about server psu's at all.
We have been running 6 ants OCed to 400 each with 2 per PSU, pulls 880w from the wall @ 120 and has been solid since January. Plus if the PSU dies its a ~$15 tops replacement.

Whats the point buying piece of pcb which cost more than psu?
I dont get it, check this:
Cables costs: 2gbp
psu cost is :12gbp
You can plug up to 2 units on one PSU by them cables.
All my PSU have mods to slow the fan. As original one are sooo loud.
No issues what so ever.

You know cheapest option is dell 750 2850 poweredge. You can run 2 s1 not oc on this or overclocked and it will cost you no more than 12gbp

New price for AntMiner S1: 0.619 0.614 btc each one, shipping cost included.
Zero soon.
well not if you apply my space heater idea / contest. I can do a very solid break down in math that shows this will roi if btc stays at 440 usd and your power is 18 cents or less per k-watt.
Or,
For next 2 days, changes difficulty +15% and reduction mining factor to 2.5 cents/Gh at 24 hour,
definitely game is over.

Think I'm dreaming that I will get a coupon for a purchase mid March 
Feel the same way :/ "Recently" must be within a week or something...

got my coupon for 0.15 - ordered another s1 - might sell this one on fleabay to recoup some cost from first miner since they've dropped so much (bought first one at .877)

People learned the lesson and preoders are died long time ago.
Trust me, no one who have a bit brain will go for overpriced, non existent gear which maybe will be delivered at date given by factory and will give money towards this whole scam call preorders.

Unfortunately not true. There a $1 million+ pre-order going on right now: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-spondoolies-tech-sp30-pre-order-specs-069gh-046wgh-575499
yeah and they actually have the best real gear on the market the sp10 as the teaser.
I don't knock the sp30 . but the s10 can do 700 watts and 1 th…….. the sp 30 will do .4 or .5 watts a hash. power efficiency needs to be better.
I did a long rant on that thread just sell us sp10's now. you do not need sp30's
the power efficiency of .7 to .4 watts a hash does not keep up with the diff increase from now to aug.
I can say does any one think diff will be under 20 on the first of aug. it would be 21 if we do 15%. we are at 6.9 so 21 is about 3 x the diff. the power efficiency of the sp30 is not 3x that of the sp10 it is 1.8x better.
yet people buy it.
i think I will be better off with a dozen- 2 dozen well placed s-1s come fall then 1 sp30.
Second this...
I prefer SP10 hashing in May... than SP30 hashing in August...Plus for 3 months hashing by August one SP10 will offset most of the cost of one SP30 ...making the SP30 purchase easier...
Have been in touch with more senior members here than me...trying to organize a SP10 Group Buy...Volume discount...
Anybody interested...? ...PM me...IMHO it is Doable...Target price could be around $3K...
