They will advise you on PSU choice closer to the time. It won't be more than 1000w for the largest model. They don't supply PSU because of the issues some are having with customs.
Well 48 Volt makes more sense than 12 Volt (getting on for 100Amps at 1000W), and they are fairly easily obtainable (a quick google search suggests around $200 or less). I wouldn't want to have the multiple connectors of a standard ATX PSU to deal with (too much risk of overloading if they come loose). Just have to wait and see.

Just a little bit of info regarding KnC They contact ckolivas and myself at the end of May regarding cgminer and related information. They then stated they'd be sending (in July) mock up devices (with an internal RPi) for us to work with on cgminer, then in September the real (faster) devices to tune cgminer to. I have, however, heard nothing since, but no doubt expect to hear something soon. I'll keep everyone posted if anything happens

I've only given it a quick glance to it but I'm not able to understand how Bagpipe was capable of getting both manufacturer name and exact chip model from the video... it could be me
It is called "a standard", look it up in a dictionary Basically, if a part if to be packaged in PDIP-8 it will have roughly the same look anywhere on the planet. Look up for PDIP-8 and SOIC-16 as fine examples. (Don't pelt me with stones, I know the DIP-14 was the first and only!)

To clarify: the word "chip" is usually the small ractangular piece of silicon, but for some reason the swedish engineers were calling the whole packaged integrated circuit a "chip", that added to the confusion as they planned for 90x90mm modules. In the end there may be one or multi-chip modules, we'll know later. P.S. the special BGA package they are going to use is, I believe, the same as the one they were doing in the 65nm to 40nm shrink of the 187-clock domain chip. (I believe I saw the photo of the original)

The comments are despicable too. Glad most miners are like those idiots and won't even be able to get them working or find real companies like we did.
1) Are you responding to the comments from disappointed BFL customers? 2) which '"most miners" do you mean? 3) what "get them working" are you referring to? 4) what 'finding of real companies' are you referring to, again? I lost your train of thought here. 5) In the end of your sentence, you use plural, am I right to assume that you and your employees have found "real companies" that helped you somehow? What was it with?

Before detailing the time spent at the ORSoC offices with all those involved in KnC. I'd like to tell a little true account of my travel to and from which fittingly describes two competing companies; one that get's the product offering, and associated customer service very, very right, and another that fails miserably. If in the course of this I can at least save one person the misfortune of travelling with Ryanair, then it's worthy of my effort.
Admittedly I booked late, both flights literally a day before travel. Ryanair I will always avoid wherever possible whatever the expense; the supposedly 'budget' airline is never overt with their true cost, it literally takes three-four times as long to complete payment and turn down every up-sell imposed upon you than another competitor (kind of like buying a domain from GoDaddy). You are required to check in beforehand which means internet and a printer (or a £40 fine). Whilst checking in be prepared to be lambasted with all the previous up-sells you declined. If you manage to escape that unscathed, you then have the minefield of making sure you physically print your ticket, or your denied boarding, a bag a centimetre over their requirements, your denied boarding, buy anything in duty free? Did the shop kindly place your items in a bag? Does it not fit in your hand luggage? Denied boarding. What kind of experience entails customers shi**ing themselves as to whether they will get what they paid for from you?!
I'm sure you see the applicable relevance here and the underlying metaphor, but upon boarding the plane, Ryanair has the equivalent of a club bouncer rejecting people upon arrival...and they did. I was at the tail end of boarding, and within 20 people ahead of me they denied 5, well 4, they made one couple actually separate and the boyfriend have to purchase a second later flight. Disgusting behaviour enforced by their CEO Micael O'Leary the same ****wit that has been caught overcharging additional unannounced fees, wanting to charge for toilet usage when you are in the air, and a more recent idea to remove seating from planes and have paying customers stand the duration of the flight, cattle class.
Alas, this despicable company was my only choice left, 'budget' only truly applies to the unwillingness of the airline itself to spend, the cost to me was actually 6 times more than the return flight!!!
I paid £250 for a flight in which all reclining functionality of the seats had been purposefully removed, and not once could you close your eyes as every 10 minutes was announced a new means to remove further monies from you be it; drinks, food, products you don't want, need, or care for, requiring constant reassurance to the stewards/esses that won't take no for an answer or acknowledge you. As a final insult to injury the plane lands with a fanfare to reassure you they've raped you as much as possible on landing.
The return in contrast was with Norwegian airlines, booked the day before flight for £39! No up-sell. Check-in prior, no worries if you have no internet, you can do so at the train station whenever you like, with a text to your mobile, before even heading to the airport (not an option for the aforementioned airline), want to choose your seat? Sure go for it at point of check in (additional cost with Ryanair), bag a little over, or purchased anything extra, no problem bring it on board. Full leather reclining recaro seats, wifi on board!!?! Zero charge to you. Drinks, food available at your request, no forced selling. Very polite and extremely presentable staff (In fact they were very good looking, but that in itself is generally luck, but they made every effort to remain relaxed, polite and presentable in addition). In essence, everything one would expect, the perfect customer experience at a very fair fare.

Don't, I actually have a wedding to attend this weekend, and the closest airport is serviced solely from London by Ryanair.

Their prices is way cheap than of other manufacturers...
400GHZ for $7,000
versus
500GHZ at $22,000 (BFL) which takes 48 years to get shipped...
it seems to be too good to be true...
but hey... if they are legit... I hope they can hire more people to keep miners coming...
it is always good to have consumer attention competition....

It's still 1,500 GH/s for the $22K - it's 3x 500 GH/s units though instead of 1 so initially it seems that people are only receiving 1 unit at a time. I haven't seen anyone that's gotten their full mini-rig order.

The original 1500GH/s for $30K buyers are getting 3 x 500's at the original price because BFL is honoring their hash rate commitment. There are people who have received more than one 500GH/s rig already. It is based on their order payment date position.
