Your photos fail to show how it is power making it less likely it is real. You also do not show a working unit.
Looks like there's 3 PCIe connections per hashing board and one on the controller.
If this is a fake, it's a pretty good one.
However, I'm surprised that the announcement comes from this user rather than from Bitmain themselves...
looks like you may be correct so it would need 3 evga 1300 psu's
still pretty costly 7 s-5's = 2950 shipped to the usa . I can get 8050gh from 7 s-5's .
so I save about 500 in price and get 350 more hash..
watts would be more about 4200 vs 3400 but 800 watts cost 58 more power wise each month so I spend the 500 in savings in 8.6 months. So getting this machine
at this price would take me more then 8 months to be better then buying s-5's
I left out the 2500 price barrier causing usa buyers an import problem.
I left out the extra hash the 7 s-5's do.
So this deal is not good if it is real.
Needs to be about 2450 shipped to be better then me getting s-5's I will end up getting s-5's to avoid the shipping import issue.
