I would bid if the start price was lower, but 1BTC for 1TH is hardly a bargain.

[Hiroaki]

What would be an appropriate starting bid for you ?

[Blazed]

What would be an appropriate starting bid for you ?

Well I would start the bidding lower like .5BTC and see where it goes?  It really just depends on what you are comfertable with.  I would bid .5BTC for it and roll the dice.

Where would I have to ship it ?

Does it run well on that 1000W psu?

[Hiroaki]

It does, though BA issued a warning regarding the PSU.

Current Bid: 0.6 - OldBones

[Blazed]

Do these take a custom PSU or can I swap it out for a Corsair 1200AXi I have sitting around?

If I can remove the stock psu and use something safer I bid .7BTC

[PatMan]

Have you received the email from BA yet? Are they going to ship you the replacement PSU? Or can a standard PSU be used instead?

Peace.

[Hiroaki]

Truth is I don't know. They said they will come up with a solution this week.

To be honest this company is just horrible, I asked them for a refund months ago, they agreed to it, but just ignored it and shipped them anyway...
Tomorrow I probably will have a talk with them @London conference...
