Speaking of which I have a dead jally in the shop that is also getting 2 more chips. Bad power supply, everything else fine.

Yup.
They're crap, but the single/30 power supplies aren't bad. Except for the solder joints on the wires to the unit, I think what happens is you get a cold solder on one of the six wires, it goes high, and the remaining 4 are too small to power the unit properly.
My solution is Corsair 600/750's.

I cut the wire of the barrel pin and connected a molex on it:

ya i had to replace mine after a couple days. The PSU started making this weird loud sound (think it was the fan as stated above) and my single was hashing at like only 60%. I replaced with an older but still good PSU i had from a smaller computer years ago, stuck the paper clip and its been working like a charm.
its just not the PSU, the machine looked like a 5 year old with a complicated instruction manual put this thing together.
Never again, at least the hash rate is as advertised so i have easily made my ROI....but still....

And in other news, the sun stopped shining for about 12 hours last night, but came back sometime early this morning. We'll keep you informed on this developing story.
Like the fans they fit, they're the cheapest shite they can get out of China.
nothing new here people... move along ... 
yep, replaced all my jally power supplies with aftermarket. work fine.
Now I am not one to join the "BFL Hate bandwagon" but I just got my LS and PSU RMA'd a few weeks ago, and the PSU is already dead again...
Seriously, don't trust their Power Supplies (i.e. the Xbox ones). Apparently you'll need your own PSU if you want to use their products.
