First running Avalon clone (teaser!)

[titomane]

Nice job.

We are absolutely interested in doing assembly for those who have Avalon chips. But we work with minimum quantities of 10 thousand chips per customer. If you are interested, email me at m.bevand at gmail.com

Are you going to offer a kit assuming people can mount there own ASICS and heat sinks?

[mrb]

Sorry, no kit.

PS: I read your other thread; if you want bare chips, we can sell you some. Email me at m.bevand at gmail.com. We have a few dozens available today.

Ok thanks. I always thought this is how other DIY's would have gone using the Avalon reference design first.
I think it will be interesting to see how others manage cutting there own new designs and coding the control from scratch.

I just want to follow the hell out of this. Can't wait for people to start posting their DIY ASIC rig stories.

When Yifu talked about the possibilities with DIY, I can finally see how well this could turn out.  He said he just wanted to get away from customer service aspect of things and go back to do what he enjoyed most which was to work on chips.

Hey I emailed about a week ago and still no response.
Would like to see what you can offer as I'm still considering the avalon clone as an option over the klondike.

Thanks for that mate, sorry to bug you.

No way I can afford it though, looks like I probably will be sticking with the klondike.

Good luck and all the best

Well done. And congratulations on delivery.
Impressive work on separating the heat sinks. smart. looks good.
Also good work on the design on the boxes.
But why in the world use standard pc PSU? did you check the specs that i think asicminer is using? these psus are dirt cheap:

maybe i missed something.. and please educate me.

Agreed, industrial PSUs like this one cost less, have a neater form factor, fewer or no cables, etc.

For us, we tried to deviate as little as possible from Avalon's reference design, in order to reduce extra work and risk of delays, in case errors would have been made in redesigning even easy parts of the hardware like the power supply. Remember that, had the Avalon chips shipped on time, the timeline would have been very very short for vendors like us to ship devices ASAP.

[mrb]

Yes. You can provide +12V DC, +5V DC, and +3.3V DC to the Avalon's power distribution unit, if you have some source for these voltages.

 I once had a teaser , tough she looked nothing like an avalon ... guess she was a different type of teaser than this.

How much are you selling the Avalon chips for each? What about 100? Please PM me your quote. Thanks
