2 orders made on wednesday-22nd both show shipped, the 2nd and later order was made around 2pm pacific time on wednesday... its UPS report

Shenzhen, China    01/25/2014    4:30 A.M.    Arrival Scan
                   01/25/2014    4:00 A.M.    Departure Scan
Shenzhen, China    01/24/2014    9:13 P.M.    Origin Scan
China            01/24/2014    2:52 A.M.    Order Processed: Ready for UPS

it seems they shipped sometime before sending me email confirmations and updating the account, since my account this morning was still showing unshipped.
both reported to hit my door(in LA) Monday, 01/27/2014, By End of Day.  God forbid any customs issues.

someone tell me if my following reasoning is wrong
  1000W PSU is good for 2 of these machines oc'd
  1300W for 3 machines (1200W would not be enough),   oc?
  1500W would handle 4                                             oc?

I looking to get the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W gold (single rail, would a multi-rail psu be better?) to power both antminers. Finding anything over 1000W has been a real bitch. Its like everything is sold out everywhere with few exceptions of seriously overpriced units.  I dont know if 500W psu's for each machine would be a better way to go, considering the bigger units are mostly nonexistent.

I was thinking of buying a Gold PSU but went for Bronze instead.
At 50% load the difference is only about 20 watts at the wall (on 240V ... 380W instead of 360W)
Got a 750W bronze for less than 650W gold so my 360 or 380 closer to 50% on the 750W

Of course a few days ago this was all new to me knew nothin about it ... :-)

Well the official guide states that OC miners run at 500-525w, so:

a) 2x miners on 1000w OC'd - Not a good idea
b) 3x miners standard ok - OC'd - Not a good idea
c) same as b

I am a bit worried that Bitmain would be unavailable during the CNY, so if there is a problem with the miners I would have to wait 2 weeks to even start getting them sorted

Btw is Sushi based in China too?
If I have ordered from him would have there been any difference?

I'm running 3 units at 400MHz on a 1300W PSU, and they run fine. 1194W at the wall, so at 89% efficiency that's ~1062W DC.

So it would have been a smart choice to order from him and so receive support during the CNY if anything happens?

I want to run this with the extra wattage from my seasonic 860 platinum that powers my mini scrypt miner (two 7750 GPUs, 55watts each).  

Do you think the 860w seasonic is enough for this?

I bought Corsair CX600M for mine and I intend to overclock. It has 552W of DC power, which should be sufficient
£54 was a good price.

First I thought BITMAIN is using resellers to enter the market and then take over the market themself by selling on their own website.
But now I understand that BITMAIN is here to stay.
Why?
BITMAIN and all their resellers using the same price.
We all have heard stories about Chinese companies cheating their partners, but that is past history.
Companies who are trustworth to their partners have build an imperium outside China, while companies who cheat stay small.
I don't think it will be otherwise in the bitcoin world.
The Antminers are cheap to build and I think the price they put on the UPS for sending is the real production cost of it.
You see BITMAIN is using a very agressive price to stay competitive, thats why they already announced a price drop after Chinese New Year.
They want us to succeed, but in reality they hope to sell more.
They can do that because it is really cheap to built the Antminers.

If you look at the design and how they have solve certain problems other manufactures are struggle with it, you know the people behind
BITMAIN are real engineers and know their way in China.
I am sure they are now saving money to move to smaller technology.
55 nm is not really expensive anymore, but 20 nm is still expensive.
TSMC had trouble with transfering to 28nm, but already say that 20 nm is really smooth.
They already tape out more than 50 different chip design at 20 nm last year and will ramp up this Q1.
14 nm is also ahead of TSMC roadmap.

I always want to buy TSMC stocks a long time ago, but there is no bank or exchance in The Netherlands that deals with Taiwan stocks.

Since thats the bronze model, and
since overclocking will use up more than 90% of its capacity, and
since these machines will be running 24/7

wouldnt that run the risk of burning more money at the wall for power(enough to justify paying for gold version)
