The power supply is the sunshine ap188, has a CE logo on the sticker, for what it's worth.

Which CE mark?

Real one or the fake China one:

And shouldn't a PSU in the US have FCC certification?

Ut oh - I'll have to double check that. I think though it was the china export one. Meaning it just said CE no extra half filled circles

Can you take a pic and post it to imgur.com ?

It seems as though these two were part of a later batch - the main backplane even being dated in july 2014. The allegedly not needed green capaciters were never installed. These are missing the lcd screen - but the circuit that drives the machine appears to be the same. The power supply is the sunshine ap188, has a CE logo on the sticker, for what it's worth.

Plugged them booted them up - went to the Prospero control panel and saw that they were mining for minersource.net at btcguild.

Checked the hash history and they were run for exactly 1 hour the week before.

Wow, now they're shipping incomplete miners?

All Further X1/X3s Shipped from Friday 8/1/14 now include the LCD Screen!

Does anyone have the old power supply? Are these any different?

Well these ones have a metal plate that the LCD screen would mount to. The first batch ones with a board v4.0 instead of v4.1 did come with an lcd - but they were second hand.

Update: Needed a replacement hash card - contacted MS and they are shipping them out, I just have to send the dead cards back to them. The cards slide out after you undo the screws, it's quick and easy. Additionally since the bulk of the machine is the case, controller, psu, heatsinks and fans, I think there is a strong possibility to upgrade them if someone were to make a hash board that could be slid into the machine.
