I'd be down for some rejected boards too.  Heck... if the boards just do "adds" rather than hashes, I think folks here would be salivating to put them in their starter kits. Not sure I follow you j Would be some expensive placeholders. I'm wondering if someone will want to design dummy plugs for the slots, so they can space their boards out more. Makes sense to me... [EDIT] New M-board provides 4 banks of 4 slots. To fill the first four cards, you would place A1, B1, C1 and D1, which are spaced apart, so my comment above might apply more to v1 M's. I wonder if a fan-spacer card would be good. It would pass SPI and use power for fan(s). This would be great for someone with room to alternate cards... I was just thinking about this today. These would be nice to have (if cheap). |

Hi Dave,
Please put me down for a couple of "bad boards" too!
If they even partially hash they're still better than nothing. I used to be a Sr. E-tech & I have access to a full lab that we could hook it up to an o-scope & other fun tools.

Hmm, of course I'd need an M-board to host it or it'll sit until the October shipment. Any "naughty" M-boards not up to spec in that batch that just need a little TLC like capacitor swaps or something minor? Had to ask while we're on the subject. <Promise not to forget to discharge it first.  > I'll be more than happy to take that naughty board & give it a good e-spank.  |

Silently following, just want to throw down that I too would be interested in partially faulty boards.

We all want faulty boards so to save the length of this thread it might be easier if only those who don't want faulty boards say so. :-)

So Dave... This response to bad boards was what I meant when I joked about there being a market for the boards if they only "added" rather than hashed. Though obviously they would have to hash a little for most people to really want them. Zero hashing boards I think would need a STEEP discount (and an EE degree ). |

If you are looking for PSU to power up the Full Kit, you should consider using Server PSU's. They are dirt cheap and rock solid :-) Here is good guide how to use them as an 12V power source: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1292514It is the path I will take for my 400GH kits. |

I think the moral of the story regarding bad boards is - you are probably able sell boards - H-boards - as fast as you can make them and as many of them as you can make. Even just 10 Gh/s boards....

$500 for a pack of 3 naughty boards? (because everything naughty happens in 3's) I'd hit pay that |

Gosh, why did we work so hard to get them fully working? We could have been selling non-functional boards ages ago!

That would still beat the competition in terms of delivery.... I'd buy halffast boards today over full-fast boards next month |

The key is the discount.. No one would pay full price for the broken boards, but if you were going to junk them... Well, for a reasonable average GH/$, they would find happy homes.
