Title: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: SgtSpike on September 21, 2012, 03:39:24 PM The little single-looking thing on the bottom right of the picture. It looks like it has some switches on the front I haven't seen before...

Red arrows point to switches Blue arrow points to some sort of LCD display with orange lettering on the front? Title: Re: First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: wogaut on September 21, 2012, 04:06:15 PM To me the two red arrows on the left are pointing at 2 capacitors and the one on the right points to a fan header. The blue arrow IMO points to the copper heat pipes...

do NOT worry, I am sure when BFL is ready to release photo's of their ASIC line of products it will not be found by some scrupulous google'r in a secret place I am sure they will announce it in grandiose fashion for the world to see.

Post by: Inaba on September 22, 2012, 04:24:42 AM Huh... that is one of our design renderings from the case manufacturer, though I hadn't seen an all black one yet. I was initially against all black, but we had a discussion today about the iPhone's gunmetal black (iPhone 5) so I think someone was getting a bit antsy.
That's actually intended to be all metal BTW, not plastic. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC?

Well Glad to see that this is actually something produced by BFL, not not just a fan. Is this rendering for the Jalapeno, or the Single? I also take it that the actual cases have not been manufactured yet? That's actually intended to be all metal BTW, not plastic. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC?

Post by: Inaba on September 22, 2012, 04:42:25 AM It's a Jalapeno, not the single. The cases are going through the manufacturing process right now; we actually had to do a redesign because we wanted to make the Jalapeno and Single cases modular (this will make more sense when you see them).
Deafboy: That is one of the patterns I have been advocating, and brushed nickle and polished copper. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: Unacceptable on September 22, 2012, 05:12:51 AM Looks great 8)

Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: Inaba on September 22, 2012, 05:18:38 AM It's a touch over 92mm^2, you should be able to figure out the other dimension from that. :)

It's a rendering. Why would you "Photoshop" a rendering. I would hope their engineers are smart enough to add a logo rastered on the top of the case in their CAD program (looks like Solidworks?). 2. That photo was placed on their Facebook page (which I can only assume is for PR purposes). So it was a [semi]official release from BFL. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC?

Post by: reeses on September 23, 2012, 09:42:21 AM An empty mug, a Truly Ergonomic Keyboard, some fake watches and two Apple TV boxes with a photoshopped jalapeno logo. Real watches, but good catch on the TE keyboard. :-) How are they in use? I was thinking about getting one, but as a touch typist the placement of the shift keys really weirds me out. You'll see the white labels where I had to make backspace and tab very prominent. I've remapped many of the keys (and use a colemak layout), so the left space is command, etc. Shift is surprisingly comfortable. If you look at their standard key mapping, they put \,|,/,?,`,~, and quotes in really odd places. Tab, backspace, and enter are a bit of a pain (missing tab and hitting backspace a couple times sucks when coding) and I've remapped the left space bar to Command. Since it's trivial to remap keys, it would have been nice to have something "conventional", but it beats having wrist pain at any rate. They're noisy, even with the 'silent' cherry key option. Not as loud as an M, but much louder than, say, a flat Apple keyboard. I will say, though, that after getting up to about 50% normal speed, I've noticed that my wrists are much more comfortable with the matrix key layout. I've gone through a lot of keyboards, and this one has the advantage of superior ergo and a small desktop footprint. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: greyhawk on September 23, 2012, 09:48:17 AM Oh, they're reprogrammable? One would have thought they'd mention that on their sales spiel.
Definitely going to get one now. I love the Cherry MX switches. As you said, not quite an M, but near enough. Title: Re: [EDIT: NEVERMIND] First picture of BFL ASIC? Post by: Clearfly on September 24, 2012, 06:42:19 PM Brushed Metal version ;)

Post by: KIDC on September 24, 2012, 09:50:45 PM I must say I do really like the look of the Jalapeno mock-up rendering. I don't like the Mexican-style cartoon Jalapeno's on the front but I think the logo by itself on the top middle looks great. Not to suck up to BFL but I do think their corporate logo looks quite elite and well suited for this market. I'd love for the Single SC's I have on order to have the same minimalist styling with the logo by itself on the top or front (since the fan vent is probably on top).
