Be careful folks I just got this private message, from a new member pretending to be syscooling, notice the superscripted tilde at the end of the name. Just for clarity - Syscooling this is a scammer and not you right?

Put me on the list for an 8 board complete water cooled kit when the price drops below $1200. 

I don't know why bitmain doesn't sell us the upgrade kits for s1's and water cooled systems? What is the big deal. In this thread alone I saw people wanting to order over a 100 boards. Bitmaintech needs to decide whether they are miners or mining hardware dealers, because at this point they are just ticking off potential customers, driving away business and hurting their brand image.

I haven't had any problem running the sp20 in my basement at home alongside my antminers. It is significantly louder than my antminer s1's and s3's, don't know how the noise compares to the s5 yet, but will soon. My only complaint about the sp20 isn't the noise because you can just run it in the garage or the basement and probably won't be able to hear it. (I would not run the sp20 in the living room it's too loud for that, but I would consider running an antminer in the living room). My only complaint about the sp20 is that mine can't do the stated 1.7th with it, only runs at 80% fan speed comfortably at ~1.4th and 1.6th with fans at a 100%. So I've just been running my sp20 1.4th. I think it's a really excellent unit just wish the terrahash was more conservatively represented.

I'd buy 10 or 20 upgrade kits for the S1 depending on the price.

cheapest price per gigahash miner will probably be an antminer s1. They produce about $24/month of btc right now. If electricity cost isn't a concern and you want to try out mining that's a great unit to start with. If you try it and like mining, then I'd switch to something more powerful after playing around with that for a few months. If your electricity is free then buying the less efficient miners for really cheap will give you the quickest pay back.

In your scenario, I'd get a used antminer s1 to get my feet wet. Then I'd use the earnings to add an antminer S3 in 2 months. Then I'd use the combined earnings to switch out the S1 with an antminer S5 in 4 or 5 months. Using this methodology you'll be earning about ~$150/month in btc within the next 5 months assuming a 2% rise with each difficulty adjustment and no change in the value of btc. This methodology leaves you with an initial cash outlay ~$50 and would be your lowest risk entry scenario into bitcoin mining.

Alternatively if you want to risk more capital on the mining venture,

spondoolies ~$3500 unit gets you ~2.0btc per month at the current difficulty  (loudness may be a concern to you)

spondoolies ~$700 unit gets you ~0.54btc per month at the current difficulty (loudness may be a concern to you)

antminers  ~$420 unit gets you ~0.42btc per month at the current difficulty

I hope so. I'd like a bunch of upgrade kits for my S1's

I mine with S1's still. I'd sell them to you for $55 each + shipping. They are good reliable miners, but there are faster units that are more energy efficient available now. If you have cheap electricity or just want to try mining without investing much money the S1 is a great product. I use the S1's to heat my home while they mine.

I'd like 10 or 20 upgrade kits

More S1 upgrade kits please!!

air to air heat exchangers work. I'm setting up an elaborate system for my hot water, radiant flooring and pool heating system that will get 100% of it's btu's from waterblocked bitminers. But that project is going to take till next christmas to complete. In the meantime I am setting up miners in strategic locations with wireless antenna's to heat the home in a very low tech fashion.

So I let it sit for a couple hours and tried logging in again, and I was able to. Then I set up another one, same issue. But let it sit over night and now I can log into it, unfortunately the second one is not hashing, while connected wirelessly.

Having pretty much the same problem. I set up my antminer S1 to mine wirelessly. I can't log into it when it is running wirelessly. It is mining but I can't log into it wirelessly. I set the wireless ip address to static, and I can see it on my routers list of attached devices. But the only way for me to log into it... is if I plug an ethernet cable into it. What am I not doing right? Why can't I log into it wirelessly? Is it not designed to allow that? Please help thanks.

More S1 upgrade kits please!

Problem is solved. I believe the issue was caused by the 4 pin connector terminal on the new board not being fully seated.

Problem solved. I think the 4 pin connector terminal on the new board was not fully seated. It appears to be working properly now.

Problem appears to be solved. I think the 4 pin connector, closest in the picture, on the new board was not fully seated. The upgrade appears to be working properly now. Thank you.

The connectors only go in one way.

Yes all 4 pcie ports are active on both of my upgrades

Here's a picture. Their aren't very many connections, they look like they are correct to me:
