I find myself wanting to order even more.
Was it the pretty heat sinks that did it for you? No, in fact, I liked the look of the prototype better. Edit: it has more to do with my complete lack of faith that BFL will ship soon, even though I ordered in the first week back in June 2012.

Ah, nice. The waiting ... hopefully we all get a working unit soon. It has recently gotten too hot for me to mine at all on my laptop. I am working some on the namecoin software, and need to mine it's testnet. So have gotten more anxious to get mine unless it gets cooler soon.
BTW, anyone willing to help me test my namecoin changes by pointing some hashes at me, let me know.
Also, anyone know a good source of decent usb extender cables?

My recommendation would be to send all the priority shipping ones first in payment order, then the non-priority ones, in payment order. It would seem to make more sense that way rather than to hold an order, then pay for overnight shipping on that order. Another option is to go in the order of size, largest to smallest. /Just thoughts, whatever arklan chooses is fine. AS LONG AS I GET ALL BLACK UNITS! OMGOMG!

Monoprice.com is significantly cheaper. If you have Amazon Prime, Amazon is cheaper only if you're ordering 1 or 2. I just bought 20 1.5 ft extension cables for $22.53 shipped priority.

well, we know we're the first shipment of the sapphire production batch, and we know that first shipment is 200 units, and we know that the fancy cases have been shipped out in a batch of 200. i'd be shocked if we didn't get them.

I'm mostly with ya, but am pissed and disappointed that ~friedcat does not seem to be reliable and proficient as a counterpart. This seems off-base, given friedcat and ASICMINER's history to-date. They are the only Bitcoin company who are actively mining and shipping meaningful quantities of ASICs. In the three previous Blade auctions, the blades were shipped within a day or two of payment. Heck, one guy got his overnight. Don't get me wrong, everyone is anxious, a lot of us have been burned by BFL/bASIC/Avalon, and the golden rule is "Trust No One." That said, I don't see how anyone could look at ASICMINER's performance and call shenanigans. Ya. Mea culpa time. I continue to believe that The Cat should have thought through and communicated a distribution scheme by the time he made noises that the items would be or were available for order. I retract my idea that ~arklan/John K are completely harmless and believe that they started the project without complete information from The Cat who was not at the time providing it. However, this is understandable given the situation and so far seems to have worked out well. I personally am mostly at fault for my actions. I added my name (and eventually my funds) without fully conceptualizing things or researching enough to understand the above two mentioned realities. Then I turned around and made a stink about it. It was wrong of me to do so since my own lack of rigor were primarily to blame for the predicament I found myself in. (BTW, I never was as fritzed out as my ravings might have indicated. Like 99.9% of my activities in on this forum and in Bitcoin-land generally, it's all good fun to me.)

Monoprice.com is significantly cheaper. You just bought a $230 device and you are worried about saving a few bucks on a cable?
