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.

Its the intangibles that make the 1200 unbeatable, see my sig for a breakdown. Its also comfortably 110a 24/7 due to how Corsair rates it. 23dba fan at full load, 93% eff at full load, 7 year warranty.
I've looked at your PSU guide before, thanks. I've had bad experiences with Corsair.
Manufactuer specs:
Corsair ax1200i
Rosewill 1300
The specs for this 1200 says "80 PLUS Platinum certified, delivering up to 92% energy efficiency under real-world load conditions". The Rosewill 1300 says "> 87%, Up to 92%".
Corsair provides an efficiency graph, which show ~93% with 220v at 100% load. For most US folks, we use 115, which works out to 90% at full load.
Rosewill doesn't give a graph. However knowing how higher voltage leads to more efficiency, I would imagine the Rosewill would do better at 220v as well.
Both are 7 year warranties.
Corsair clearly states 100.4A on the 12v rail. Rosewill clearly states 108A on the 12v rail. If I ran the 1200 at 110A and it blew, what would I tell Corsair? Doggie said I could?
The Corsair has a 120mm fan.
The Rosewill has a 140mm fan.
Please, I'm curious, can you point out what's so much better about the $100 more expensive Corsair?

These server PSU's are very loud so take that into consideration depending on where you will be running your miner.
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!
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.
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.
I have a UPS tracking number for my batch 2 S2.
Same here. Although...it has not been received by UPS yet. So it has not left the building at this point. Does UPS Express work over the weekend?
NOT in the USA, be there Monday B4 8:00 ;(
O/T - Just got 2 1300W EVGA Supernova's = NICE, same size as AX1200i, comes w/ jumper adapter, Velcro ties.. $250-ish @ microcenter!
I know an S2 who's getting a new PSU!!
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.

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.

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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/server-power-supply-interface-board-for-standalone-miners-and-gpu-rigs-379677. more power, lower cost, more versatility.
