Title: [UPDATE] CrazyGuy BFL Group buy #1 and #2
Post by: CrazyGuy on October 08, 2013, 03:28:28 AM
All 210 Chips have been delivered for assembly in Austin!

I personally delivered the chips to ChipGeek on Saturday and I'm told assembly started today.

I had the privilege of holding their last rev production board and I must say, I'm impressed! MrTeal and ChipGeek have done a great job with the design and I think you will all be impressed with the final product along with the benefits of a modular design. Assembly and testing will go on throughout the week and I hope to have assembled boards in the mail by next weekend. Please keep an eye on MrTeal's thread for updates, but I'd like to ask my group buy participants to contact me with any questions.

You'll need to purchase your own pads, backplates, pci brackets(optional), and coolers. I've ordered enough thermal pads for 24 boards, and I have a few of the other items as well. Please contact me if you would like to purchase some.

I think every one here realises what an awesome job you two are doing, and people cannot possibly be unaware of the how this project has unfolded timeline-wise compared to, let's just say, "some other notable examples". If they are, then their opinions probably aren't worth worrying about too much.

Personally I am blown away by how well this has gone.  ;D

Thanks Merlin.

Here's a little teaser, hopefully it's a bit of a consolation.

MrTeal and ChipGeek are making progress assembling our boards. Their current estimate for completion of batch 1 is early next week.

My group buy participants -
 Please follow MrTeal's thread for updates, but try to direct questions to me. I think it is best we let them spend as much time possible, in these last few days, perfecting the firmware.

Got my Chili board up and running. CGMiner recognized it immediately, it has a lower HW error percentage than my Jalapeņo.  Gotta say that CrazyGuy went above and beyond for me while I went through a difficult time with a sick family member. Just wanted to add that he has quickly become my primary source for mining hardware.
