Delays in BitMain L3 batches delivery

[LTC--Miner]

...
P.S2
I was stupid enough not to order any PSU, any recommendation for an affordable Europe-compatible PSU.

Yes.

First, buy a HP DPS-1200 FBA 1200W server power supply.

I was able to find one at Ebay with a quick search http://www.ebay.de/itm/HP-12V-1200W-Power-Supply-441830-001-438202-001-440785-001-HSTNS-PD11-/272392400345?epid=1204680600&hash=item3f6bda2dd9:g:VX4AAOSw6nNZrm6N

You might want to check if you have some local vendors selling one.

Then buy one breakout board and nine pieces 6-pin PCI-E power cables for the server power supply from J4bberwock.
See his thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=738527.0
Look for the "DPS-1200 FB A, XL board".
He says that board only at the moment, so you have to ask him if his able to sell any cables at the moment.

Then buy a C13 power cord that fits in your electrical socket in the other end (Type F "schuko" is quite common in Europe).

Thank you for your feedback!
Would it be possible to get an all-in-one solution, possibly in a local shop (North Europe).

Thanks again!

I saw one shop in Germany but only 1 pcs available. It is the same shop where you can buy the FutureBit Moonlander.

I found 4 of those used PSUs

Would it be possible to use with the L3 with some slight modifications done by a guy with some practical electric-engineering knowledge?

I will pay 50 EUR to the father of a friend (who is an electrician) for modifying all 4.

The exact model is HP HSTNS-PL11 (I think).

I would still suggest using the breakout board and buy or make PCI-E power cables for it.

The thing is that the machines are here, delivery times are around 2 weeks, that's a loss of money.
If moding the server board is safe for the miners, I would use them, if power output (2.5A max per endpoint) is too little and will hurt performance,
I can always sell those to PPL with similar miners that consume less power on ebay once replacement arrives.

What do you reckon?

Thanks,
O.

P.S
Where do you mine?
Do you mine on a standard pool? merge mining? multi mining?

I came up with a merge+multi mining pool with a friend, and it was much more profitable than Prohashing for us with our 2 old miners (Innosilicon A2 and one tube of an A4).

[Supercoiner111]

Thanks for the heads up, I guess better to use the moeny to trade or do GPU mining not ASICS!

[HagssFIN]

Well it's fine as long as soldering and all work are done properly with proper knowledge.

I use Prohashing.

Ok, thanks for the tip!
What is your hashing power?
Would you be willing to try out something new?

it's always a gamble preordereng asics. they rarely meet their deadlines.some say they mine with your hardware until it's not profitable for them,then they ship to you

This is obviously not the case here.
Bitmain delivered on their promise, with only a few days of delay!

I might consider changing the title of the thread to be fair to them.

I have 2 orders of 21st sept batch which are not yet shipped

[Thetaj]

At least they actually shipped the damn products
