Very nice, Jack. I will hope that you can confirm my payment on Monday, I wait since one week. I think the bank in Hong Kong are not the fastest.

Does this package come with something like this: I think it's a wifi router? Like tp-link with a USB port? And, is this how you supposed to connect it? If it comes with a router, what is it used for? The miner is USB based so why not just plug the USB hub directly to the pc?

Do the units that have been recently shipped have the new firmware installed? And if so when will that firmware be release so I can update my beta unit?
Yes, it will be very easy to upgrade existing firmware. Simply navigate to the IP of the controller and click on "Upgrade Firmware", browse for the firmware .bin and click on "Upload". It will start the flashing process and check if the firmware isn't corrupt. After around 1 min the controller should be flashed and you can just continue as usual. I will be able to show you a picture of the output after flashing tomorrow.

Hey Rammy, when did you order your units? Just trying to piece together a timeline for myself to see when my units will arrive

I was under the impression that the new firmware was close to release a couple days ago? Has anyone spoken with Asiabtc on this matter, and does anyone have an updated timeline to when the release will be?

The firmware is completed today, so nobody has it yet. It will be bundled with the units that will start shipping Monday. I will make a complete guide on how to get started with the new firmware soon. I will also put steps on how to flash from the Chinese firmware (for those that ordered early). Source: I am one of the coders.

Since you're probably familiar with the hardware capabilities, do you know if it will be possible to vary the voltage to the fan, or is the fan connected directly to the 12V power source?

You and Sandor11 may want to get in touch with them on a collaboration (if you haven't already).

Price for LA3AM (10 of these) was $2750 (including shipping to the US...or that's what I paid back on Feb 10th). I recall seeing somewhere the pricing for the LA6M (20 of these) and it was just 2 x $2750 --> $5500...memory is a bit dodgy. PM asiabtc/Jack and he'll give you the exact figures, methods of payment, etc.

If you had an entire farm of these, having stand-alone systems makes it easier. One goes down, and you don't loose your entire production. Cuts down on power and no need to have it connected to a PC. Also each controller can manage 20 devices...so for folks like myself who only bought a 10-pack, i can get 10 more and just add them to the same controller.

thanks for the comprehensive info! if you don't mind please update us with pics and power consumption stats... I ordered my LA3M. Paid by Paypal a few days ago. All $ amounts in USD for USA shipment. I paid $2,846.25 ($2,750 including shipping plus 3.5% fee for using paypal).
The pricing includes all the hardware to run a stand-alone system. It works out to $100 for the controller, and $250 per unit. If it works out well, Jack said I can order 10 more units without the controller (controller can handle 20 units). I presume that would cost $2,500 + $150 for shipping. Which is the price difference between LA3M and LA6M.
He said they would ship around Feb 18. For those looking for pricing:
LA5U $350 + $40 for dhl express, 300KHS scrypt+10GHS SHA256 1XUSB cell, 1X controller,1X 12V laptop adapter,1Xmini usb cable,1X 5V adapter
LA3M $2600 + $150 for dhl express, 3MHS scrypt+100GHS SHA256. 10XUSB cell, 1X controller,2X 12V industry adapter,10Xmini usb cable,10 12V power cable,1Xusb hub,1Xmini usb cable,1X5V usb adapter
LA6M $5100 + $300 FOR DHL express, 6MHS scrypt+200GHS SHA256. 20XUSB cell, 1X controller,4X 12V industry adapter,20Xmini usb cable,20 12V power cable,1Xusb hub,1Xmini usb cable,1X5V usb adapter
Warranty 3 month Warranty, 1 year limited warranty. if overclock, warranty avoid.
100% downpayment. BTC, bank transfer accept,paypal upon my quota: 1, we dont accept paypal esrow,2, paypal charge 3.5%. it needs you pay.3, it takes 3 days for withdraw.4, i need to decleare it in china.here currency is under control. no credit card.
Note: I did not include his payment directions. Best to contact him to make sure you have the up to date payment instructions.

I orded an LA3M a couple days ago, and paid using BTC. If the devices work as well as expected, I'll order a second and retire my GPU-based miner. Ideally I'd mount the units in that case, which has already had its drive bays removed (turns out 7990s are really long!) and now has plenty of room. If I do that I'll probably use a standard PSU and wire the miners into molex connectors. I'd also be able to easily rewire the fans to use 5V power. thanks for the comprehensive info! if you don't mind please update us with pics and power consumption stats... I ordered my LA3M.

You and Sandor11 may want to get in touch with them on a collaboration (if you haven't already). This is correct. Drfranz is indeed able to compile everything on Raspberry PI and on other architectures. He has patched the buggy code from gridseed github, because their code doesn't work as it is. He uploaded the video on vimeo mentioned in this thread multiple times http://vimeo.com/85853611http://vimeo.com/86394543
