The little single-looking thing on the bottom right of the picture.  It looks like it has some switches on the front I haven't seen before...

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Red arrows point to switches

Blue arrow points to some sort of LCD display with orange lettering on the front?

To me the two red arrows on the left are pointing at 2 capacitors and the one on the right points to a fan header. The blue arrow IMO points to the copper heat pipes...

You are completely right, now that I look at it that way...  It's just a view through the side grill!

In this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6fuEKqGSsQ

In the very beginning of the video,Josh says "gonna giveaway a Single with 1.4 gh/s",I think they turned one of the Minirig units into a Single.

What the switches & such are on the unit,I have no idea...................

Well Obv it's not a real pic. But if the FB page isn't actually by BFL, and it's an unofficial rendering.

the logo on the box was photo-shopped taking total credibility away from this.

do NOT worry, I am sure when BFL is ready to release photo's of their ASIC line of products it will not be found by some scrupulous google'r in a secret place

I am sure they will announce it in grandiose fashion for the world to see.

Huh... that is one of our design renderings from the case manufacturer, though I hadn't seen an all black one yet.  I was initially against all black, but we had a discussion today about the iPhone's gunmetal black (iPhone 5) so I think someone was getting a bit antsy.

That's actually intended to be all metal BTW, not plastic.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

It's on their Facebook page, a place I would imagine wouldn't be considered to be secluded.

Well Glad to see that this is actually something produced by BFL, not not just a fan. Is this rendering for the Jalapeno, or the Single? I also take it that the actual cases have not been manufactured yet?

gunmetal black, not plastic... just add texture like this...

...and it's exactly how I imagined it first time reading about it.

It's a Jalapeno, not the single.  The cases are going through the manufacturing process right now; we actually had to do a redesign because we wanted to make the Jalapeno and Single cases modular (this will make more sense when you see them).

Deafboy:  That is one of the patterns I have been advocating, and brushed nickle and polished copper.

It's a touch over 92mm^2, you should be able to figure out the other dimension from that. Smiley
