Got both Blades, and 10 Erupters, plus fan controller with 4 fans running off the old 30A supply. Drawing 21A@12v. Annoyingly, it's drawing over 500W from the mains, and emitting a ridiculous amount of heat. These old bench supplies are NOT efficient in any way.
Will definitely be switching over to a decent, working ATX PSU ASAP.

They'll be paying us to take them soon. 
Woo, new price for usb miners is in, all hail to group buy 7

Seems these blades take a while to setup.
Just finished stripping molex power cables to attach to all the blocks
I'm gonna use ocz 1250 zx series to power 9 boards.
Any one think I could run 15 of them. I gotta spare 650 watt psu laying around Giving out a total of 65 amps

I melted a 1200w PSU a while back by plugging GPU's into the wrong PCI-e connector, the cables were labelled 1-8 and i didn't start from 1

Thanks.
I was being careful with what cables I was using going by the label on the PSU. It was giving trouble it seems, it was powering my last GPU miner machine, which wasn't the most stable. I just stripped the machine last week. Seems it was that PSU.
Faulty miner!?
You must be very unlucky, hoping i don't have any.

Got the USB and Blade this afternoon. Hashing away and overclocked with Slush stratum proxy.
Let me know how I can return the faulty USB miner as we discussed via PM!

Really? Wow. WTF is that 1000W PSU's issue then? 
It needs a good kick in the clunge.

7-8A, around 5 if you leave it as standard.
I might end up using the old 30A machine, I don't know. My head is fried with it, it's working at the moment, so I'm just going to leave it alone for tonight. Been at it since this morning.

What happened to your 30A PSU, that's what mine are running off at the moment, and after a quick trip to maplin to get a new fan for it, its working well .

Yeah, now running one blade per shitty OCZ PSU - thankfully I have two.
Got them running at ~12.5GH/s @ 1.15v so far so good. Ordered a decent PSU (Corsair Builder CX 750W), hopefully that'll do the job OK.

Now my wires are on fire. 
Got to love OCZ and their damp string wires. 
Got to love OCZ and their damp string wires. Serious?
Well my blades are working nicely, didn't need to set them up to work at 10gh, so I shoved it up to 13gh with a nice big fan on it .
Thanks again Outcast, trust left

im gonna be up whole night at this rate lol
My 1000W PSU doesn't like running two blades overclocked. I think it's something to do with the power rail distribution. One blade is working off a heap of crap old OCZ 500W.
