Update, sent Bitmain a PM on here (no reply to either of my emails) and they said this... (I hope they don't mind me quoting them)
"Declaring the true value is requested by the customs, otherwise miners will be stuck when importing, the customs is keeping an eye on Ants, they clearly know the miners' value."
Looks like this will be the standard from now on.
It depends on the country, for example in my country customs don't care at all about what inside the package, they just call me and ask what inside and "some computer hardware" is good enough answer for them. So Bitmain why did you send the packages with the value declared even higher than the current real price without letting the customers know? What is your country? Here in italy customs is a pain in the ass almost everytime + 10000  ahahah |

Mine showed up yesterday and is hashing away. It looks like they changed brands on the fan - this new PWM fan has a 0 RPM mode and I thought the fan was bad when I hooked up the ANT and started configuring it. Finally, the fan came on after ~2 minutes. I then powered it off and let it cool down and it behaved the same way when I powered it up again cold. It's been running all night and works fine. My other ANTs have NMB PWM fans and they don't have a 0 RPM mode - they spin at power on at about 600 RPM and climb from there as the ANTs heat up so the new one gave me quite a scare for a couple minutes.

Interesting. Mine is out for delivery now--I'll report back on the fan as soon as I get it spun up. Cheers. |

dont blame shipper for customs duty and tax
Well, turns out i have to pay 170,36€ PER miner with DHL. UPS only asks me about 26€. A total of +3000€ extra to pay, nice way to ROI.  Last order EVER directly trough bitmain, that's for sure. |

Just received my 2 Antminers, the last UPS "cheap declared" batch. Both units have heavy smell of burnt electronics, fans and heatsink blades covered with dust. One unit is ok, another one has some dead chips and doesn't hash at full speed. Way to go Bitmain |

So Bitmain declares the full value now? How much? |

However, seems that the 24feb batch is having lot of customs and technical problems |

It looks like the fan on one of my Antminers has died. I've tried two power supplies, and it's been in my unheated garage so a fan is barely even required. Only had it about two weeks
Has anyone else's fan died?

Fan is PWM, so if the miner is cold it will not spin. |

I have had a few fans die, its rare but seems to be the most common fault. |

Fan is PWM, so if the miner is cold it will not spin. Brought the Antminer into room temp, fan still won't spin |
