I'm using this PSU right now. Just started crunching this morning.

edit: Rise, I'm using those CPU coolers are both of my Beasts. I like them. One or two get a little stuck on boot up. But for constantly running, they work awesome.

This is the RAM I bought:

I'm using 4GB per server now.

Also I'm using laptop hard drives:

I'll let you guys know how it is long term, but the power usage is reduced and I'm thinking the heat too.

I'm going to run this setup for a week, then if it's good, I'm swapping Beast's power supply for the second Antec 430 I bought and the laptop hard drive. That way, both are running the same hardware. Should be reduced power usage and heat. The Antec stayed cool all night. The Rosewill is hotter than heck!

Happy crunching, team!

Oh and thanks shoota for arranging the buy. You did good! :cheers:
