Agree with Xian01. BFL 60Gh/s unit should be sold to someone in Canada, they have cheapest power in the world.

As for the power supply question - I use IBM 850W power supplies with AWG16 custom cables. Each power supply roughly adds 35W (total draw going 100% load + power supply itself (fans, logic, dc/dc convertors, monitoring, etc)) ~ 885W. A bit noisy - however outputs stable 12V under full load. Cheap - you can buy 6 of them on ebay for $100 delivered.

My suggestion is to set fire to the BFL60 unit. You are burning more in electricity than you are making back.

Having said that, my go-to power supply is a Corsair AX-1200 for running multiple miners with plenty of buffer range.

I'm looking for a single power supply to power an Antminer S1 and a BFL60. Suggestions?

The S1 needs about 400 watts and the BFL60 needs about 300 watts; clearly need a buffer range too, so I'm looking for something at least 800 watts.
