'Free' (2btc), ie if your bid is 120 you wouldn't pay anything additional for shipping. Will have to ask John best procedures for paying and confirming 'delivery' for in person though.

Ty old man

ScamLand it looks like. He can show us tracking from the first unit he sold without escrow.

More likely I think is that as B2 was PSU included, a lot of the current B3s going out are essentially left over B2s. They're not going to spend another 30 minutes opening, removing psu and closing again.

Anyone able to test https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265142.0 for me?

I've set it up on my current machine but the fans sit at minimum rpm anyway because of the low ambient [floor to ceiling windows ftw]

titomane has recinded his offer after the auction has ended, wasting everyones time. Auction will continue for a further 48 hours. Minimum bid still 1@120

Timer removed. End time: 2013-08-01+18:00:00

Objective:

• Reduce jet engine to crying baby noise levels

Hypothesis:

• The cases are constructed using perpendicular nut-bolt things. Great for small scale quick production, but not great for a tight seal.
• These connections have quite a large open gap at every screw, on all size.
• If you feel over the gaps, there is a significant amount of airflow [*read pressure] leaking.
• This is not useful pressure, we want to be exhausting through the heatsinks and not through these random holes - they serve no cooling purpose.
• =fans are spinning faster than required to get the same pressure.
• Airflow through these holes will also be much more turbulent and so will also be generating some of the frequencies we hear.

Method:

• Tape those badboys up, simple electrical tape would do it.

Results:
*pending*. The only unit I have in stock at the moment is reserved for an auction, but if that falls through I will give it a go. I don't have a temperature controled room so I can't make it a scientific test though.

Conclusions:
*pending*



tldr: Case has holes at the screws, lowering air pressure inside. Fans spin faster to compensate = more noise than required.


EDIT: V2 ready, see below.

B3 will ship, is shipping, will continue to ship. I am in their shoes, I also have pending B3s.

0_O Then this isn't an auction, its a blind bid.

You said you would post the highest PM bid

Repost:
Scam warning. Price way below market average, won't accept escrow, new account.

I am in the UK. All shipping is done at cost, I've shipped all over the world so Australia shouldn't be a problem.

First courier I checked (DHL) suggested 3.5-4.5btc depending on exact location + insurance if required.

Why wouldn't you accept 100% escrow?

I may be interested, but not at this price. PM me.

That is what laons are for.

It would, are you aware of the implications though?
