You can't.  His group buy has closed.

Why are you on steamboat's group buy page asking about ordering chips from zefir? Why not buy them from steamboat?

I apologize. I didn't know steamboat was selling the chips as well.  As indicated in the OP:
{Please note this is for assembly only. Chips must be purchased and supplied in order to use this service

Currently accepted chip suppliers:
Zefir}

I would rather buy from a 1 stop shop.
Thanks

Then you came to the right place!

Maybe steamboat should indicate he accepts chip supply from steamboat as well as zefir

No problem, I was just curious.

If you go to the OP, scroll down through the update of 7/2/13, you will see a section headed "Purchase instructions". Details in there of how to purchase chips from batch 7 (I think batch 6 is complete but it isn't clear).

Now for the million dollar question: Any updates from Avalon on your end Steamboat? Tracking number/shipment notifications for any of the batches?

Not as of yet. The moment we receive word from Avalon we will pass it on.

Chips apparently ordered on or about April 15th, 2013 have allegedly started shipping to ...I'm guessing Chinese customers...from the looks of it.

Steamboat Batch 1 was ordered May 1st, if my memory serves. Hopefully, only a couple of weeks out, maybe even earlier for a tracking number e-mail. Knock on wood.

Steamboat may have another few days to NOT go crazy...or is it too late for that?   

[kostagr33k]

I think Steamboat already has gone crazy, with most of us waiting for these chips to arrive!

On a side note, I had a job interview today, and after the two people interviewed me told me about their hobbies, then asked me, I replied :

"Well, have you heard of Bitcoin ..."

surprisingly enough  they both have. Even though they seemed fairly new to BTC , they still understood the premise and made me even more comfortable on the interview!

Right above that in big letters it says:  Chips Available:  4600 and below that it says:  Summary of services available and Chips is the first item.

Update:

Hosting:
The switched PDUs and PSUs are arriving early next week. We have chosen 550watt 80+gold PSUs to give both high efficiency and fine grain control for power cycling boards should the need arise. Each PSU will power between 13 and 15 boards, depending on the final power usage. The PSU will then be connected to our switched PDUs, which gives us the ability to power cycle the PSU remotely. The network infrastructure and configuration is nearing completion, and we will be ready to receive the units once they are assembled.

Hi SB,

maybe you should consider revising your choice of the PSU or plan less boards per PSU.

According to the best practices you shouldn't run a PSU at more than 70%. So a 550W PSU would be most efficient running at 385W. 12 boards running at 32W each would consume 384W and with slight overclocking even 12 boards would push past the 70%.

+1 on the case. Is that 21 boards in there? I wonder what would it look like once you plug in all the cables.

Cheers

24 x K16s. Cabling should be neater than you'd think as the design is based around a central controller and power distribution unit PCB (CCPDU). Two wires will run to each of the "blades" (composed of 3 X K16s) where the wiring will then branch out to individual boards. So only 16 power wires running throughout the chassis.

Data comms are another thing, but the plan is to use an I2C chain terminating in a single USB connected K16, which will in turn be connected to a Beaglebone Black which will act as a controller and cgminer/bfgminer host.

I know I am a bit late on this, but +1 on the case as well.  Curious what the pricing would be, but given the PSU(s), cases, cabling, and time/effort involved, this seems like it would be a big win for those of us who bought more than a handful of boards.

Is there any update on if this is going to be offered (or what price it might be offered at)?  Didn't see anything on http://liquidsyndesigns.com or further mention in the thread...

Case work is in progress. I received the first machined parts yesterday and am assembling prototypes. The PDU PCB design is underway, and I should have something to show next week. The Mineninja folks are on-board with development.

Case looks great!     Awesome job

Good Job jim!  Waiting to see it fulled with hardware, YEAH!

Nice case, do you have an estimate on price?

[Lloydimiller4]

I am also highly interested in these high-end cases for my hardware.

Forgive me if this has been answered already.  Each 3-k16 blade in this case, Is it a special board or just 3 seperate regular k16 boards mounted and hooked together.  If I purchase the regular k16 boards at least 3 at a time will they work/mount in the case?  Thanks

Can someone explain the 4600 chips left to me?  Are there 4600 chips that have already been ordered and waiting to arrive that can be purchased?  Or are there 4600 left until another batch will be ordered from avalon(Could take a while)?  Thanks

Afaik 4600 left until the batch reaches 50% pre-sold, at which point the batch is ordered and paid for by steamboat.
