Sorry, I have been out most of the day.  Going to catch up on the thread and will post in a few minutes.

[Akarabzie]

Include me for 1x unit! Hopefully my funds will be transferred in time tomorrow before 6 PM. Banks taking a little longer than usual  if I do make deadline, I've already PM'd kilo and we've arranged a pickup/delivery plan since we are local to each other.

Pinole, CA 94564

Kilo17   is in Tennessee

I am in New Jersey.

 Kilo17 has said he is looking to arrange shipping direct from blockC

at the moment 1112 usd = 2.4636   

  so try to have  2.50 - 2.60 ready.

I am waiting for kilo17 to finalize details

[KNCFUN]

Sorry guys but I did some calculations and the BTC difficulty scares me. 11% 
So i will not buy an Avalon 6 at the moment
Good luck and i hope everything will go smooth

What PSU are you guys planning on running your A6's on? I'm going to use the Corsair RM1000 - Gold http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?1473361 since i've seen it works fine on some other members rigs, but just curious what you guys will run.

I will use 240 volt server psus

Your psu choice is borderline if you go full speed.

I'm going to running mine on the same psu.
If the deal goes thru I'll order one

Unfortunately I dont have access to a 240V supply at this tie so i'm stuck at 120V 

Honestly I'm expecting to lose around $450-$600 this year per unit with mining difficulty increase and the speculation that BTC price will increase at around 1.1% per month. If it grows more than that I'll be happy, but not holding my breath. If I can mine with a unit for a year and just cover costs I will be happy. You guys with power under $0.07 or being hosted should do ok though. Any one else do some cost/profit estimation for the next year?

[kilo17]

I will get everything finalized tonight with Yan, we usually speak in the evening.

Usually it takes about 6 months for me to cover the cost of my miners

Honestly this year with the halving if the price doesn't increase I dont care how much you pay in power. It'll be hard even for the .03pkwh to return any money off of a new investment and with these 10% increases every time!!!

If I'm thinking right, these Avalons have separate 12V rails per board so if necessary you can run them off two PSUs, probably want at least 600-650W rated each. But a decent 650W PSU to run on 120V shouldn't be hard to find.

Yes that would be good.

Yes that would be good.

Yes efficiency would be better off two different PSUs. If you can get your load on each PSU to around 50% that would be most efficient (maybe not on your wallet).
Graph below is for the PSU I plan on using:

If I want to get more efficiency I could add another PSU and hit right at the 50% mark or just run on 1 and still be fine. Thats why I chose the PSU i mentioned earlier. Of course you guys with 240V can just laugh and enjoy you're superior server PSU efficiency.

Just found this link, good thing as I was considering buying 2 units direct.  Please put me down for 2 units and I also need a PI controller. Will be shipping to zip 12110. Philip, I sent you a PM asking about the Avalon before I found this group and saw you are doing the escrow for the buy.

Anyway, have not done a group buy before so just let me know what I need to do and when and where to send the funds, I have the BTC already allocated for this.

Thanks,
