Somewhat understand the paypal price hike... but why would the BTC price increase?
Im guessing cuz of the minor exchange rate drop, but even then should only be like 2.3btc.... |

Paypal takes 3% per charge because it will get them kicked off there if people start using Gift Payments for huge amounts. Bank to Bank stays the same price so that should help make sense. I have my first order for a few days before being delivered today (It's on the truck as I type this). Ordered 2 more today to replace 2x Bitminers S1 an Alibaba company never shipped so those won't go out for another 1-3 days since the flood of orders last few days. So in the end I'll have 6 of these units total. I cannot wait!  |

You will get it in within 2-3 days. The units ship out of Hong Kong and they take there and ship from there. The DHL is fast as can be. I'm on my phone but since last screen shot of tracking. Now on for truck for delivery. That's Hong Kong to Houston in 3 days!!! DHL Express ftw. Now I can't say same time on every shipment but still.

I think the biggest thing was the scammers out there being the biggest thing. Same thing happened with World of Warcraft when it came to selling characters on Ebay. Half were not legit. Also if they were using Bitcoin to pay for purchase it cuts PayPal out... Remember who PayPal??? Trust me China is not worried about production of bitcoin machines. Actually I'm pretty sure the plants are providing more jobs. The amount of reproduction goes on even for US companies now is dumb. Their quality has gone up 100% in the performance parts for the car industry to where you couldn't tell the difference and doesn't break. |

Please adjust the BTC price. It should be the lowest.  |

Wow, wtf?!?!? according to that PSU, its not capable of 120v at all... is this correct? .. I thought it was a normal full range unit (110-240v) |

I thought it was a normal full range unit (110-240v) ... ●The server version of Intel EPS 12V 2.92 standards, backward compatible with smart modular design, intelligent identification into the electrical equipment, without judgment, plug rated power 600W, powerful dual +12 V output design, output power up to 540W
● Active PFC wide (170V-264V) designed for grid energy efficiency up to 99%

The PSU is modular? Did you get the other cables or just the PCI-e cables? May ask if they can send all if they don't. |

Ah, so probably best to order w/o PSU =) ... good to know |

Ah, so probably best to order w/o PSU =) ... good to know Yes but I think we need some clarification on how to plug in the power supply. If you are using one supply it will be different than two. I had a bunch of first gen Avalons, and the idea was to plug in as much power as possible. But these appear to have two power distribution boards, and the PSU connector can only go to one... Any chance of a closeup set of shots showing the power board clearly? |

Would love to buy one or more of these, but question regarding the PSU...
Is it a single 900w PSU that comes w/ the unit? if so, whats its 80+ rating?...is it a quality PSU?
I would assume, to make it USA 110v usable, all I gotta do is plug it up w/ a standard PC power cord right? (Im assuming the plug on the PSU for power is the same as any other, its the side of the cable that goes into the wall is the only thing thats different....)
I am also wondering if a standard USA 110v PC power cord will be all that is needed to power the supplied PSU? |

would definitely love some more detail on PSU wiring. Ordered mine without and it's my biggest concern. Maybe even a description of how many PCI, ATX, CPU Thanks
As best as I can make out the top board is using 2 PCI, the EPS 8 pin and the ATX. Does the bottom board require an ATX and 8 pin EPS or does it just have 2 PCI connected. Because if the bottom requires the ATx and EPS you would need to use 2 supplies and I ordered a single 1200. Someone who has eyes on the bottom board please let me know. Thanks
