Yes! My two thumbs just arrived in Southeastern Michigan. I've got them plugged in and I'm playing already, initial impressions seem good. Now... if only my boards could arrive before I leave on Saturday... Looks like I may have to leave detailed instructions for the roommate on assembly so I can play from half way across the world. Update with performance pr0n: The speeds seem to have stabilized here after about ten minutes of running, they'll bounce around by maybe 75-100mh/s both up and down but by and large are just what you see here. As I type this the HW errors are still at zero, and the heatsinks (with a fan pointed at them) are just perceptibly warm to the touch. I'm using these options at the moment: --drillbit-options ext:250:1:950 The forum post about recommended settings says the recommended clock range is only up to 230mhz, but up to 300 is "possible". I took it in 10mhz steps up from 200 to the 250 I'm using now, started seeing errors (especially on one thumb, which was 100% errors) around 220, then pushed the voltage up to 950mv and it has stayed stable all the way up to 250. I may be able to push higher, but I'm honestly a little scared to try it. I don't want to burn my thumbs out on the first day.

A quick question, for having more than one board, if connected through mini plane, do they share the same USB? Or they need one each? Thanks. Just making my last order on Farnell, so wanna make sure I have everything.
Power supply RPi RPi power adapter One USB to microUSB cable Maybe getting some fans? Heatsinks?
Anymore? Thanks!

Ok guys... Im still alive.
Every single US board has been dropped off via UPS Overnight (there were 2-3 people who that didnt work for, and had to use 2nd day air instead). Almost everyone should have it on friday or monday at the latest. I will have some more pictures and stuff soon... But im taking a break to eat and take some asprin. That was alot of boxes.

You're the man, bobsag3. I know trust and reputation are scare commodities in the bitcoin world, but man have you ever earned yours today. Now, relax and have some turkey and booze.

Sweet, can't wait to add 4 boards to my Adelaide hosted pool to mine alongside my many block erupters So if Barntech receives the boards tomorrow (Friday) and posts them the same day, does that mean we might receive them on Saturday? I've heard about AusPost doing Saturday deliveries for the Christmas period this year, hoping this might mean the Drillbit packages are delivered before Monday

I just hope my thumbs get here in comparative time. Mine seems to be getting the third degree in long island and its still got a few hundred miles to get to me.
They were probably too busy watching the snow fall over here.

Hmm, did you get tracking information for your thumbs? Was excited to see the mailman today with all the reports of delivery…and let down when he drove off and no thumbs. I figured that being just outside of Chicago, I'd be among the first to get them, oh well,fingers crossed for Friday.
