I've read most of the other two threads, and have a couple questions I didn't see asked in those.
1) For the rackmount shelf - how are these cooled? Is it possible to put a few big fans in the back and suck airflow through? I figure this is what you use in your datacenter deployments, and a few high airflow flans are more efficient than a bunch of small ones. The fin orientation on the heatsinks seems to be non-ideal for this sort of chassis-based cooling setup however. Basically, can these be cooled like other chassis-based equipment (blade servers, large chassis based switches, etc.) or is the idea to cool each blade individually?
2) The ethernet controller - are these 10/100? 100/1000? I only ask because some switches won't link at 10mbps and I would like to be prepared with the proper equipment should you decide to increase the number of units available.
Thanks!

See this picture maybe can help you. first Blade just arrived and in production!  Thanks AsicMiner Venice - Italy Well please make it vertically placed if you could. The chips are packaged via QFN, but not all the heat are absorbed by the PCB. The back side will also become hot. And if you have no mechanical setting to lift it and have to lay it on the supporting table, please make sure that there are no heat isolation material under it. |

Blades are ready to ship, or are they being made?
Whats the shipping date?
So, basically - can we still buy them after 50 is crossed and shipping date will be the same?
50 has already been crossed. What are you waiting to place a bid, Kano? How much do you want to tell when BFL will ship? Nah, the 50 have all already been sold - that's why it's turned into a discussion thread  |

I don't even have 10BTC  Though, according to DHL I should have an asicminer USB some time soon - it made it to Hong Kong on Friday. |

Yeah, 5k up with 2 days left, and the guy has just brought another 20 in this auction currently out of 20 bids, 17 with 0 or 1 feedback, also there's a risk  Wow 500GH/s for $250,000
I'd hate to think what would happen if BFL actually did start shipping MiniRigs ... coz that's like $750,000 per "MiniRig"
well when you put it that way, it's ludicrous |
