I got the 92mm Noctua as recommended above, and they work fine.

I wanted to pay less than £35, which is around RaspberryPi price, and the price RS and Farnell were charging for the BeagleBone Black.  Non-one has stock, except sellers on eBay or Amazon who are charging double that.

But, I've given up on these SOC machines, and gone back to a PC to run my miners (a Celeron 847 NUC in a TranquilPC passive case, 64GB SSD and 4GB RAM).  It only uses about 10W, and it works with my USB3 Anker hub, so I'm happy to stick with it.

It's fucked then, sorry.

Out of the two I got, one died about 2 days later.   

You could try with a more up-to-date version.  We're on 3.8.0 now, and there's been lots of changes since 3.5.1 with drivers and USB miners, etc.

No, just everyone is dumbfounded that anyone would even WANT to use an outdated piece of crap that is GUIMiner...

I hope it's an active USB extension...

You could, but it'd be pointlessly slow. 

No it isn't, and no it won't.

The first thing I'd be trying is a different power supply.  I know the PSU BFL supplied with my miner was a piece of crap.

Heh.  Custom miner hosted off Mediafire?  Err...I don't think so.  Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot barge pole.

So what sort of hashrate are you actually getting on Eligius?   I know my lowly Jalapeno does spit out some errors now and again, similar to what you're reporting, especially when starting out first.

I hate it when my cl

Don't use Sementank antivirus.  It's shit.  Always has been, always will be.

A what now? 

Yeah, can't say they're terribly reliable. 

The little Block Erupters were infinitely better, yes they're slow, but mine have been working like a champ, even at the 700C they seem to run at. 

Now the Nanofury uses this shit hidapi which basically prevents me using them on my OpenWRT mining router, and Luke-Jr says the nanofury doesn't work off the RaspberryPi due to incompatibility with the Pi's USB.  I'm thinking the Furys will be going on eBay, because I'm not running a PC again just for 4GH between the two *fury USBs.

OC3k, you're a kidder.  You typed "1.20BTC".     Really, what's the real price?  Go on, stop with the messing about.  We want to know the real price.

Powerline adapters.  I have them here, they work well.  I've got 4 old 200M no-name ones and 2 AV500+ TPLink ones all working together, no issues at all.  My miners are hooked up through them, my HTPCs stream HD video from my NAS across them. 

Yeah, I think I'm going to abandon the RaspberryPi.  I can't find a BeagleBone Black anywhere at a decent price, so it's back to Windows for me I think.  I have a Celeron 847 Intel NUC which uses very little power - it'll do the job OK.  Plus I can use my old USB3 Anker hub, which gives me a lot more room for the sticks.

It's a shame, MinePeon is a good little system, but the Pi's crap USB is the massive stumbling block.

Correct.  They don't work on DHCP.  Each Blade has the IP address of 192.168.1.254 hardcoded on it until you manually change it.  If your router is also on 192.168.1.254 then there's an IP conflict.

Set a static IP on your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.  You should connect your PC and one blade to the switch, change the IP of the Blade (to say 192.168.1.200) by going to http://192.168.1.254:8000 in your web browser, then connect the next Blade and change it's IP to 192.168.1.201, and do similar for each Blade..  Only then you can plug your TPLink in to your router, and it should all work OK.

Aw crap.  What about the Beaglebone Black?  I don't think the USB is borked on it, is it?
