So... I finally got a phone with a camera, and I'm using this to see if I can post a picture of my setup once I trim it down as png file. It should look like 18 Newpacs in 3 GekkoScience Hubs (wicked)... cooled by 4 12V CPU fans and 3 USB fans (wicked cool?)... There's also half a dozen GS 2Pacs on an Eyeboot hub... also with USB powered fans... and a GS Terminus pod and another USB fan (not shown). Rock solid... Thanks to whoever corrected the image posting... one day, this old guy will catch on... Just thanks. - G

gcnelson with some sickness. I was gonna post my set up but now I'll have to ask for more media "samples" to compete. I did request a gs hub since they have the sticker or etching on them compared to sample I, err we got.

They are powered by the 12V outs on those mighty fine GekkoScience Hubs that I picked up from MineFarmBuy... Knowing the troubles people have had over the years finding suitable hubs for USB miners, isn't it fantastic that sidehack would design a robust hub designed specifically for mining! They're like PB & J, man! They go together real fine. Thanks to those who've helped to get them on my desk. This arrangement is in my living room... the noisiest item is the old laptop!

Nice, the newpacs have been flawless for me on the gs hub as well and 2pac I throw on there too. I only get zombies on the 10 port 5A hub I bought from amazon which only has 4 2pac's on it now and still gives me issues. I thought about trying a brick but 6 pin from psu just works well where I have mine set up and with 1600w I can run a few of sidehacks hubs. Glad everything is working out. I also heard you caught my Easter egg I left for you. Glad you saw it before it got pulled.

That looks like an absolute beast!!
Just checked out your usb hubs. I'm a little confused about the one you linked. It says in the "Package Contents" that is comes with 1x 12v/8A brick. But it says in the title 2x 12v/10A bricks?

just doubled checked, it comes with 2 x 12V 10A bricks. Good quality ones that last as well hub looks sick, is it two bricks, one for each column of ports?
yeah 1 brick for 1 column, the hub has 2 x standard barrel plug connectors

Hey guys, got a new hub version. It's based off the other one but with a few improvements. http://gekkoscience.com/img_stash/base_hub/DSCN2408.JPGhttp://gekkoscience.com/img_stash/base_hub/DSCN2409.JPGThe first thing you'll notice, if the pictures load correctly, is it's got a shiny metal housing instead of plastic. That's a definite improvement. The second thing you'll notice is it's got 8 ports instead of 7. Per the diagram on the underside, one of those 8 ports is power-only. It's still 7 data ports, just like the black one, but the 8th power port means you can run a Pi and a USB fan off it without taking one of the high-current ports. It's still got the 12V fan header too, don't worry about that. The dummy port and port 1 are also powered by a secondary regulator, which means using them won't take any power from the high-current ports. And don't tell anyone I told you this, but that secondary regulator is actually rated for 3A instead of 2, so if you don't use Port D and are careful about it, you could still run 7 stickminers at full speed. Right now it's still priced same as the black one.

For those that buy from resellers (like us), please be kind and remember we do have a stock of the older but still perfectly good black plastic hubs.

It'd be completely understandable if no reseller sold any of these metal hubs until the plastic ones were gone. That's what I did, after all, so almost zero of these have been distributed so far.
Also you might notice this one looks a bit rough. We're using these in place of Plugables for bench testing of sticks and stuff, so this one's seen some full-time duty the last several days. The brand-spanking-new ones will be super shiny instead of super smudged.

great innovation with the power port, this is a really good idea as i had raspberry pi play up when trying to run them off the same hub as my miners before. the new metal case looks really slick. i will order some now and start stocking them straight away.

Although not listed on the site, you can place a request for them from Mine.Farm.Buy: https://minefarmbuy.com/contactI just completed an order for two more Hubs. They'll get you the shiny new 8-port ones from sidehack at GekkoScience if that's what you request.

No. Hub says it does 240 watts. My guess is just under 2th as he would need to provide about 360 watts to do 3.2th.
