There are alot of things I do not care for on the kncminer box but over all I love it.

Nice, but you could have saved 20 minute if you open it up immediately and mine :P

I suppose you are correct hulk. I though some people might want to know how easy it is to get out of the box and what to expect when they get there miner in the mail. I had an extra set of hands so it was pretty easy to get it out of the box. Without some help getting it out of the box you could drop it or possibly destroy the box. I thought some people might like to have that info.

I flew out of London to Stockholm and back on Friday to pick up my Jupiter. It's happily spinning now, hashing on average at about 530 GH/s. It fluctuates a bit between 515 and 545.

I had trouble setting it up at first, and panicked for a moment when I thought the device was faulty when lights didn't come on -- although the psu was connected correctly and the fans started spinning. When I opened up the box, the problem was visible -- the little linux device (simpler than a Rasb pi) was loose! 

Once that was pressed down, problem solved. Big relief.

That happens when people lift the unit and put their fingers between the control board and the beagle board.

Nice unboxing video. I've always wondered what everything inside the box looks like.

It's really quiet. A pleasant surprise. I've seen videos of loud hooting Avalons and BFL trumpets, but the KNC stuff is pleasantly quiet. I put it in my study under the desk -- didn't have to hide it in a garage.
