I'm aware of the options of getting something in a rack, but my main point was the external PSU. I haven't seen a whole lot of equipment in racks that had external PSUs, so you are either going to have to eat up space in the rack somewhere for the PSU, or create an area outside the rack for the PSUs. Either way, this is eating up valuable space in an expensive area to house things True, I agree with your conclusion. There is an important participant of this forum discussing the role of the PSU for the KnC case: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=273584I have reached out to them to confirm what the rail requirements are for the PSU. Hopefully they will nip this in the butt and just clear the air as it really seems it has to be a typo. The saying is nip it in the bud. Not butt. But I appreciate you trying haha Buds are for smoking, not nipping

Most units, even the ones that are larger than 2U (4U, 6U, whatever) still have the power supplies built in. I'm staring at a 4U Cisco UCS and another 6U rack mount blade system, both of which house their own PSUs (redundant PSUs, nonetheless). Care to elaborate a little more?

What does working in a datacenter have to do with spotting gear that's obviously not designed for racks?

Oh, let me understand the logic of the fan boys here: If you ask questions, you are spreading FUD and being an ignorant. If you do not ask questions, you are spreading FUD and being an ignorant.

No, you're just spreading FUD, and are ignorant. It's fine to ask questions, but not the same crap repeatedly, and not answers to Q's you should have asked yourself before purchasing. Like, I'm pre-ordering, so how is this being made, when will the chips likely be ready. Logic.

Care to elaborate a little more? look closer, that is modular and is its own 1U. Not as stark as the ones on a HP C7000 but still separate.

What does working in a datacenter have to do with spotting gear that's obviously not designed for racks? Why does any of this matter I'm wondering? They are coming to us with no PS, and we know why. That won't change. They obviously weren't aiming for farms as they said from the get-go that they were going for limited customers that they could support and those customers getting a decent return. They have done everything they can to make them noob friendly where a company aimed at businesses wouldn't need to. The bit about selling to businesses when you buy one is bollocks and wouldn't stand up in any court..and is a bit confusing given the rest of their aims. What I'd do if I had a facility to host mine would be to ask them how they are doing it...we all know they are hosting them in large numbers, so they will have this sorted already. It may help anyone planning to do the same?

While not ideal, as long as it draws air in front-to-back, and there's room for the external power supply on a 19" width, it'll be fine in a rack.

Why would you bother them with a refund request... And then offer it for sale here? Oy.
