this could run the whole thing? would i need additonal cables or anything?
i think it's perfect! 2*6pin/blade, 1*controller and 1*6pin free that u can shove in one of the blades
it's complicated...it might, but not 100% before someone tests it PLUS you would need to use PCIe splitters (not included) on at least two out of four singles.
The geometry will be discussed here endlessly in the next month.

he can use 2 of 6pin per blade. this are 16awg! it can power 250w/6pin easy!
that's the gist of the matter...people will see: three connectors required and will hesitate to use just two (and maybe rightfully so), however using splitters on a SINGLE evga red cord(s) and then engaging all three connectors on each blade is a compromise. Splitters are like $5-7 (just NEVER use the cheap 20 awg ones)

I'd love to get a coupon to buy an S7. Bitmain username is: Alibell854.

so consesus is 3 PSUs at least 500W would suffice?
yes if single rail! 40v or above
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012
something like this i am assuming
40a on 12v is perfect. the 2 * 6pins is worrying as 200w/6pin might be a bit too much... this is evga so cables should be top notch...
might be ok for 1 blade, but for the blade an controller combo this is better http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438049
hint: research the 1300w type!

And the buy button just went live, despite the large expense, I wonder how long until they sell out of batch #1?
Good luck to everyone buying these ! Looks like some great gear, but this time around, instead of buying a fancy new miner, I did the following and will HODL.
Lets see which will be the better investment 9 months down the road.
I bought 0.5w/GH hardware for 1BTC/TH over 6 months ago - its basically paid for itself and still holds the same value on the resale market. This stuff at 2BTC/TH, without power supply, is insanity

I have 3 EVGA 600B I plan to use if i can ever afford to get an S7. EVGA cables are very good. You turn the CPU's calbes into a third 6 pin cable by getting one of these:

I use these on my existing 600Bs with no issues.

30a on 12v is not enough!
35a i would call a minimum and still risky!
i prefer the 1300w model!

"If you use different PSU for hash boards and control board, please make sure to power the hash boards first and the control board only after the hash boards have been powered."
In any case Corsair 500 has only one already split PCie cord. Will it work?
You need to look more at the capsity of the 12V line than the raw wattage.
The PS needs at LEAST 30A for the hash boards alone ON ONE RAIL, preferably 35A for any safety margin, and AT LEAST 3 PCI-E connectors, not "split" unless 16AWG wiring is used.
Then add 5A if one PS is running both a hash board AND the controller board AND one more PCI-E connector (Fans will eat at least 4A alone).
The design of the hash boards makes it appear you MIGHT be able to get away with 2 per hash board, but DEFINITELY NOT SPLIT PCI-E if so unless 16AWG or better is used.
The S5 had that SAME warning about turn on order, just need to be sure the controller is on the last PS you turn on if you use multiple PS.
With only 2 PCI-E connectors I doubt that Corsair will work at ALL.
Probably a split-rail design with less than 30A on either rail.
Additionally, I doubt the wiring is heavy enough.

You want at least a Gold PS, not a Bronze. It's a noticeable efficiency loss that WILL cost you significant money.
The 40A rail is good.
The connectors look like a split pair, but I couldn't get the picture with the "better" view of the cabling to load. IF they are NOT split, it should work.

My first one has been corrected to paid so I ordered my second. Waiting for it to get noticed and mark paid.

I paid 0.0002 as a fee but with all the buyers today it was marked medium vs high priority.
now here is progress last year 4 s-5's pulled 2400-2500 watts and did 4600gh
this year 2 s-7's will pull 2400-2500 watts and do 9700gh.
I have a spot for one of these s-7's at 2.4 cents per kwatt
I had 2 coupons donated to me so thank you each.

Would you be able to hold on with people reporting on this "screaming" sexy gear?
TBH, it's the "screaming" part that ultimately gave me pause this round 
That, and I can't make the numbers work out for ROIing on these before the next block halving.Will be looking towards underclocking reports and how quiet these units can be made to run. Might be interested in a unit should they become more economically and sonically reasonable.
We need some pricing competition for Bitmain. Badly.

The new Antminer S7 have been released with a much better power efficiency, so I will be hosting it for 50 USD/month.
Bitmain sent me 100$ coupons for S7 Antminers, so if you are interested in my hosting service I will let you use them.

Ordered 6 of these bby's, probably will regret it.
But the high I get when I open them up, getting them online.. With this running in the backround: https://gifsound.com/?gif=i.imgur.com/eOTOeyg.jpg&v=mzDVaKRApcg
Priceless!!
Thank you Bitmain.

You know there are cheaper highs in the long run, like crack or heroin?

500W PSUs almost never have 3 PCIe connectors and bitmain also asks for a separate PSU for controller IF multiple PSUs are used (you supposed to first turn on hashing boards PSUs, then controller PSU).
You could just plug the controller to the last PSU you turn on. Powering the last blade + controller at the same time will not cause any issues.
you are probably right, but here is what they said verbatim:
