These def look hell-a lot better then the cheap ass Dragon 1T miners. Anyone wanna trade a 1T for an S2?  Wish I could order these, but with the price of BTC right now, and no cash in hand, can't afford one  Right now no-one can order them, they aren't for sale. Gotta wait for batch 3 to become available... or better yet, hopefully they will simply stock them like S1s with none of this pre-order business. |

I don't get why a lot of people are complaining about the ethernet port placement. If you're going to rackmount it, isn't it easier to have ethernet in front just like many rackmount switches are setup?
Spondoolies-tech also has their ethernet port up front for their rackmount miners.
People trying to sound like they know anything about running a datacenter  Yeah, I was actually happy with that design choice as well. I didn't expect it to be a point of contention. I'm happy with ethernet port up front - I prefer it (and yes, I will mount my S2 in a rack). |

Good question. Have not heard any mention of it, but hopefully it does. BTW. Bitman finally responded to my email, they must have been really backlogged to ship the first batch of S2's |

Does the S2 have wifi?
I think so... S1 have wifi-included, so i don't see them removing the wifi on S2. |

I think so... S1 have wifi-included, so i don't see them removing the wifi on S2. That would depend on if they still have the openwrt as the controller or not. If they use a rpi or bbb then a wifi device could be added but would not come as default. |

I'm happy with ethernet port up front - I prefer it (and yes, I will mount my S2 in a rack). Yes indeed. My racks have too many power cables in the back. Routing the network cables in front would help to keep things more manageable. |

I received an email direct from Bitmain indicating that the S2 does not have WiFi. Cheers |

People trying to sound like they know anything about running a datacenter +100... too many people jump on what others post without thinking for themselves (racking up post counts)... even after all the nonsense spread on this thread I'm still very happy with my batch 2 purchase, it looks like a quality unit from Bitmain once again. |

You got something, let's see it, and let the product sell itself.
All products on their site are sold out, so I guess they did. |

Shit. That is a terrible thought Oh the shitstorm of "BTC is property" has only just begun. If they exercise the right to apply this to 2013 I feel for the folks doing hardware sales (SSB, Canary, BTCGuild, Eligius), for any domestic company who has accepted BTC not through BitPay/Coinbase, etc. Sadly our best hope for BTC hardware and transactions has just become overseas where reporting isn't stringent. |

Just an FYI to my comrades from UK... UPS will charge £314.15 for two S2 (£157.57 per machine)... win win
EDIT: S2 is valued at $1,255 per machine for custom purposes according to my UPS Invoice...
