An idea that I have seen used in other forums (Xbox hacking to be specific) was to have a single sticky that contained links to all relevant hacks/mods/firmwares, etc. It was moderated and anyone with a new tutorial would either post to the thread or just PM the OP and the OP would add it to the main post and keep the rest locked down.
I think this could be beneficial here if it was maintained by someone knowledgeable.
A single sticky, with links to multiple setup guides, updated as new equipment is released or as needed.
As is, you can still browse this section or search but... this would be a nice, easy to find, starting point for all hardware... especially as older guides roll off the first couple pages.
It could also stay locked so it's only providing info, nothing else.
something like:

Tutiorials:

ASICMiner Blade

That's a good idea.

With all new companies threads, most tutorials are going down in page number and few users read them. Put a sticky thread to view all tutorial and useful threads is a good decision.
