Thanks for clearing that up I was wondering why it said ASIC #6 but couldnt understand OP on the KnC forums.

It says ASIC #6 because a module is connected there. But yes, it is a Jupiter with 6 modules connected.

is that your jupiter at eligius cyper?

No, mine is at Bitminter.

Place your bets if KNC would agree to sell me an empty aluminium case so I can provide a good home for my Upgrade modules.
What do you think is a fair price?

Considering you have bought a number of miners and upgrade boards from them - free!

Well I share your views that KNC can afford to give me a free case, when I have spent over $27000 with them, but if they don't at least I hope they let me pay for it.
Recently I asked for some free longer cables and got a negative response (albeit unofficial), but maybe it will be different if I ask in person.

On that topic, will the boards be mounted to aluminum plates?  I know that we get the bar and screws to mount the fans.  I'm just not sure what to lay under them.

I've laid motherboards on cardboard boxes before...I guess that'll work...lol

Boards are mounted on spacer attached to the bottom of the case or any other material.
I was thinking to lay them flat on anti-static bags, but I think the ASIC chip will need some ventilation underneath, so it might be be such a good idea.
If I can't get a case out of KNC (free or paid) I will most probably build one myself or get a computer case and install the boards on standoffs/spacers.

Guys...
I dont think cardboard, or a plastic bag underneath will work.
The case is part of the structure the bar uses to clamp the heatsink & fan into place.
Without it, all the clamping force would be transferred to the board, and you could literally break it in half tightening the bar to it without the proper base, and spacers.
Also, the boards themselves also get toasty, and cardboard & plastic would be dangerous imho...

**edit...  The case actually acts as a partial heatsink as well. If you were to feel underneath your machine, you will notice the bottom is warm, and the screwheads which hold the board into place(not the heatsink) are actually warmest, meaning the heat is transferred from there as well...    just sayin'      

So should I be buying pieces of aluminum and drilling holes?  Obviously don't want to fasten it wrong and snap the board.

O'rama, can you lay out the contents of everything we're getting in a box?  Surprised this hasn't been done yet.

It has been done at least twice already.

I've only seen distance shots of everything open laying on top of each other in bubble wrap.

So there is no aluminum plate to go underneath?  Is what Phoenix said a concern?  What is safe to let the board rest on while hashing?

[Bitcoinorama]

Thanks.

Well one would imagine that being an owner of a Saturn or a Mercury, i.e. the two purchasers the sale of these were made available for, you should have adequate space in your case...

I thought we could fill all 6 modules in a Jupiter?

Then I'll have some for sale if they don't work I guess.  Man communication around here is ass.

[Cablez]

Have you checked your control board to see if the last 2 ports are missing?  You will need to add them if so.

Thanks.

Are you kidding?! Nobody ever said that 6 boards fit into one case!

It was never stated these were only for Saturn and Mercury here...

I have 2 open slots on my controller board.  What else am I supposed to think?

Indeed you are supposed to think and just use your brain and look inside your case. Where the f... should there be enough space to fit 6 boards?

Dude I cannot officially confirm, or deny whether you can, or cannot do what you're intending to do with a Jupiter.

I have stated the official line the entire time.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my communication, nor your sight presumably. The box has space for 4 modules. The upgrade modules fit in the remaining space that resides with either a Mercury, or a Saturn, hence a maximum of three boards were available per unit sold.

[Paladin69]

A motherboard doesn't need to be in a computer case to work.

[Paladin69]

So I have no possible way of securing the fan/heatsink to the board now?

Your sales portal didn't restrict to three per unit...it never asked what unit I had.  What?
