For those in the last auction you had to purchase your own power supply (which isn't a PSU used in a pc). Since I had no clue what I needed to buy to get that running I never bid on those (not that I would have bid close to what they went for).
Ou course you can use a standard PC PSU. All you need is to ground PS_ON (eg. paperclip trick) and to customize the cables: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGLyJf6GDMs
Could you explain this? I have put together PCs and hooked up mobo's which is really easy because of the standardization.
If someone says I need a 10A 12 V power supply I assume it is something non-standard otherwise why not just say PSU? I have never ever heard anyone talk about anything but wattage when purchasing a PSU for a mobo. So this means a lowsy 120 W PSU will do to power this thing? No other requirements needed?
BTW if you need to ground PS_ON with a paperclip that means the board the ASICs are on doesn't have a ground itself? Why not? That's a silly thing to exclude right?
You need to ground PS_ON on a PC-PSU so it starts up ("thinks the power button has been Pushed)... has nothing to do with the Block Erupter Blade....
And they don't simply say you need a standard PSU, because every 12V 10A power supply will do. Not just the PC ones.
But you should definatly read up on that stuff before purchasing a Blade, because you need at least fundamental understanding of what you are doing when
deploying an AM-blade to the network.

Updated. I guess my fears was founded. Please note that joy-bidders like JessicaMILFson will be blacklisted for any future auctions by ASICMiner, and probably be reported in the scam accusation subforum.

5*28 = 140
Yes, but two units are too much (it's 51st and 52nd out of batch of 50).
Well, I included an extra 2 just in case the top bidder was joy-bidding or something.

We can just buy a 12 volt DC power supply at any electronic shop right? Nothing special?
The power adapter is not a standard barrel "pin/sleeve". It looks like it will need a little wiring work. Alex C has been putting up some good video on YouTube.

If we're following the rules of the first batch, increments have to be in BTC0.5
Sorry, it was an appealing number

No guarantee that the USB stick auctions will be cheaper.
If anything, they might be super popular not just because of the ability to run them everywhere and ASICMINER's track record of instant shipping. Plus they're just so darned cute!
i'm inclined to agree. this "bid" was ...sadly... my entire bitcoin stockpile... hence why i want more hash power!
