Title: BFL Single Waterblocks -- Gauging interest
Post by: xurious on June 20, 2012, 05:06:37 PM
I'm looking at making some of these. It seems there are a fair amount of people who mention they run warm or whatnot. This would solve that issue.  If my math is right, I could do these for about $50 each, however I'd need to sell 100 off the bat to make it worthwhile.

If enough people are interested, I'll go forward. If not, I'll scrap the idea.

Last time I read anything about the BFL asics, they where still FUD. I don't have hours to peruse the forums, if someone has a link that they are actually being released, I'd love to know.

It was a questionable paper release that may or may not materialize... but it has everyone in a FPGA-liquidating frenzy.

They stated "availability" in "late October", but we don't really know what that means.

Interested. Sub.

For multiple units... What is your recommendation for a manifold design?

Edit: What sort of hash rates are possible with water cooling? Firmware?

Edit2: Those heatsinks are just stuck-on, right? How about a Peltier element inbetween?

Yeah, two weeks ago I would have bought 30 of them.  Now... probably not.
