bright side of my experience:

- good communication of custom service in the context of a delay situation
- fair (?) compensation (600 GH/s instead of 200 GH/s for 4 month delay)
- really easy installation and configuration
- stable hardware performance

dark side of my experience:

- 4 month delay (pre-ordered in October, and should be due in December)
- due to the compensation for a delay the price stated on the invoice trippled and so did the custom tax
- a loose connection on the RJ45 plug (can be fixed by putting a rolled piece of paper between the plug and the box)

So they were late on shipping, they compensated you for that, but then they also bumped up the price on the invoice because...why?
( and was that price more or less true to actual cost than what would originally have been on the invoice? )

No, I've got a new invoice. I ordered 200 GH/s for ca. $1,200 and I got an invoice for  $3,499 for 600GH/s.

ah okay, then it all makes sense ;)

How are the units running?

Noisy. But quite stable hashing performance between 605 - 620 GH/S over 12 hours.  Temperature 55-57 C. CPU usage by cgminer 30 %. So there is potential for Turbo mode. Not tested yet. WebUI takes about 30 % also. The unit runs on Linux. So it is easy to look into process table.

I think the customs declared value should be what we paid for them, at most.  Even better, would be their market resale value now.  No-one would spend $3,499 for 600 GH/s today, you can get over 1 TH/s for that.

They tripled your Gh/s order because of 4 months delay? 4 months is alot but hey you got free 400GH/s I wouldn't be angry about the delay in this situation. Good luck mining  ;)
