Does the RM750 come with 4 cables to power the S5? If not, where can I get them? Also, is there a cheap alternative to the paperclip method for the on/off 'hack'?

This is my switch button.

one corsair rm can do the trick, a 750w, would be good enough

Get 80 plus gold rated or better and full modular if possible. Here's a good choice and Newegg takes Bitcoin  Wink

And yes it comes with the cables. I don't own that exact model but EVGA usually includes a Jumper, and the post above mine has one for sale if it doesn't come with one. I've used both paper clips and jumper, in my opinion the jumper is worth the couple bucks vs. the paper clip trick.

You can buy the male side of the 24-pin power connector and use that to wire up a simple jumper.  Nothing is going to be cheaper than a paper clip though.

Generally want 21% more watts than what it pulls at the wall and only if you don't plan on overclocking or volting.
Very efficient PSUs may need less margin but for the price not a bad idea as it will run cooler and more stable with 21% overhead.

just get 2 corsair RM750 .. 750w per s5 leaves a really nice margin for each

The minimum you'll want is a EVGA 1300 G2 for 2 S5's (pending that Bitmain's specs. are correct), but if you can find a higher wattage PS for the same price range then you might consider going bigger...

Why would he need bigger? It is 590w at the wall only 540w at miner so how do you get 1300w+ from 1080w? I see that will give you some headroom which is nice but other than that no need to go any bigger.

It will be cheaper to buy 2 small power supply, 650 watt each. Unless space is a problem for you I say 2 power supply is better.
