Another nail in the coffin for BA. Things must be getting serious if Bob is willing to spend several thousand dollars out of his own pocket to go over to China and work for free. It doesn't instill any kind of confidence when a reseller has to also play the manufacturer role.
Meanwhile I got my tracking number for my batch 3 S3's, looks like Bitmain wins this round.

Thats not even a fair fight BA only has one leg and one arm at this point.
I'm sure #1 on Bob's list is "Where is my money?"

I believe the price of the PSU by itself was to cover the PSU and the shipping charges for the extra X3. So that's why it's where it's at. Where as Minersource is charging for the PSU for less, but then adding the shipping cost later
I could be wrong though, since everything about this ordeal is subject to change.

If they're even using that supplier, and not a knock-off copy of it. I'm pretty sure the label on the X1 supply said Sunshine, Sunshine Electronics or similar.
I have an early sample psu. No label on it. No CE mark. Just a logo on the connector, which is Apluspower Co. ltd

It's identical to the one shipped with the X1's , except no Apluspower logo, and a label with "Sunrise Electronics". Probably the name used to get it through CE certification.
Internally, it's got the same components, and PCB. The PCB markings are the same. So defiantly not a knock-off copy.
Nice find. Looks like it's the same manufacturer for the x3 psus: http://m.alibaba.com/product/1936290059/Hot_selling_1430W_dual_output_5V.html
No surprise BA would charge twice what the manufacturer is asking.

It was custom made for them. The factory is just down the road from BA. Shenzhen is full of manufactures that will put together anything you want if your willing to buy in bulk. If the PSU company retain the IP rights for the design, then it makes sense for them to exploit the tooling they already have.
I received two out of the four X-1's I ordered and the first one i plugged in sent a shower of sparks everywhere, so far the 2nd unit hashes anywhere from 9 to 90 Ghz regardless of what the Freq is set to, the errors do seem to drop a bit if it's set to 1000 or below.. Your mileage may vary 
So that's the second power supply we know to have gone bang. How many more, I wonder?Funny how the image showing the PSU manufacturer label seems to have "disappeared". Fortunately Firefox's search history comes up trumps, I originally tried finding a "Sunshine AP187" back when the picture was posted. Here's what AliBaba has to say about it.

Perhaps that's Black Arrow's "surprise"...

Our 2nd shipment was 4x the size of the first one, exactly a week apart. I was told the rest of my orders for the X1 will be shipped to me by the end of the week.
Good news, thanks.
I guess this is no longer the case since you're going to China?
TicketID GTW-578-92501 i will keep sending untill i get anwers. No problem. Djust copy-paste and press send every minute, hour, day or night. I have paid directly. No problem...
Surely all that does is get you auto-routed to /dev/null have you no ideas for getting a response that would be more constructive? My experience of Bobsag is that he's nothing if not reasonable these days so your best bet for satisfaction might be trying to be the same. I don't know what your issue is, I appreciate you might be getting frustrated but the above definitely isn't the right way to go about getting a response.I have nothing to do with Bobsag. Its a seller of minersource. I bought directly with BA. So no Bobsag only a couple GHOSTS...

I leave for HK tomorrow, I will be getting hands on with the X3s and remaining X1s to help them get everyones orders pushed out the door, as well as writing troubleshooting guides and getting valuable hands on time.
Bob,
Could you ask about the Batch 2 chip conversion !!
I don't want the X1 showing up on my doorstep, i appriciate it if you could push them to TB for another conversion
Thx,
Good luck.
I'm finding that my x-1 changes it's frequency randomly to stuff like 900 and now 100 for no apparent reason.
While you're there if you could process my refund that would be great. Oh and a reply to my emails and PMs would be good also
