Title: Question about Avalon ASIC
Post by: robin24 on April 18, 2013, 11:12:55 PM
Hello all!
I would like to purchase an Avalon ASIC unit and get into the mining business, both for my own good but mostly to contribute to the generation of new coins.
I just have one question here which, to me, is kind of important. In the Wiki, I read that the device has built-in fans, and since the box will probably generate quite a good amount of heat I could imagine them to be high-speed ones. So, I was just wondering, for all those running those... How much noise do they make? Do they just hum like a normal PC, or are they more like vacuum cleaners? Just curious as I'll have to place mine in my home office if I decide to purchase one... Also, is it currently possible to buy them? I saw on the website that batch 1 is shipping, but couldn't find a working order link.
Thanks a lot!
Robin

Thanks a lot! :-) Now I'm just wondering how I'm gonna be able to purchase, the 'order' link on their page doesn't seem to do anything for me... I've contacted their support yesterday, but haven't heard from them just yet :-(

I don't know might be a bug or the fact that the batch has already sold out.
Be patient ;)
