Thanks that gives me hope ! I may have confused you it is not a G2 but a G11 mount with a Gemini v1 controller.

My power supply is a 13.8 volt 12 Amp switch mode like the one from Jaycar.
Also why are you running usb to the G2? Lan is much faster now the new firmware has been posted to the general public and it wont hog up precious usb bandwidth.
Hooked up to the box are 3 dew heaters, QHY9m with filterwheel, G2 and my Canon 10D.
One power supply means no ground loop and having everything insulated helps too
I have this setup now for over 2 years and have had no problems at all.
