I'm seriously considering getting 5 PSU's from Bitmain (evil I know but the PSU's are good....even though, bitmain being evil they arrive 2 months after your miners..be aware!)
Anyway, I've yet to see an ASIC miner-manufacturer of any flavor coin, ship a decent PSU with their units (with the possible exception of spondoolies)
Thus, I think sometime before they ship (a month or two) I will get the above Bitmain Units as a 'hedge' and just sell the Obelisk PSU units on Ebay or use them on other stuff.
Just saying, (this of course IF by the time the obelisk's arrive they are not doorstops due to difficulty and price....if that is the case, its easy, just leave them in the box as
doorstops, cardboard slides around easier for such use anyway)

again, what I'm thinking as a KNOWN PSU ...get it ahead....as a hedge..... (my need for equipment deductions are getting extreme indeed!)
been caught with the crummy PSU hedge before....if I lose a bit selling the bitmain psu's on ebay and/or the obelisk units, so be it
they already told me the obelisk PSU's will be external (see email below)

Hello Brad,
Our PSU will be external to the Obelisk. We are guaranteeing it to be 500 watts or less, unfortunately, we do not have any efficiency information at this time, but it is our goal to deliver an efficient PSU.
You are more than welcome to use your PSU if it is compatible with the Obelisk, but all of our Obelisk ship with the PSU so we do not have a way to shipping you one without it.
We have not yet finalized our design so I cannot give any specific details on the specifications of the Obelisk or the PSU, this information will be available before our first batch ships.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
Grant Crawford

Note: If doorstop....I'm gonna get one of those 'sport t-shirt' large glass framed units...to hang the t-shirt on the wall (like if it was signed). Supposedly my Sia T-Shirt is in the mail
as I write this.
Then a small plaque underneath saying: "I Ordered FIVE Obelisk SC-1 SiaCoin (SC) Miners And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt!
Something like this:

Tasteful, yet depressing.
