[PRICE REDUCED] DPS-2000BB 2000W Server PSU Interface Board

[mstrongbow]

Any chance I could get some detailed specs/drawings or maybe a sample for these? I would like to design an enclosure for these boards.
I recently designed enclosures for the BlackArrow breakout boards https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645228.0

Thanks mate!

We don't have any sample boards left to ship out, but I'll see about putting some mechanical specs up on the product page on our website.

Awesome and thanks mate! Once I get a design whipped up and printed I can send you a copy for test fitment etc.

 Ok, my order for 200 chips through technobit has been confirmed. Can you tell me how many of the boards I will need? I will have 50 of the assembled boards. Also, do you have a good source for the PSU's?

[sidehack]

To the guy wanting mechanical specs, we have some up on the product page on our website now.


50 of the Technobit minion boards? Nice. I have two coming. If I read right, that's a nominal 400W per board? If that's the case you could just get away with 6 per DPS2K but I'd probably plan for 5 per in case of overhead. 6x400W would put you about 94% capacity (which is to say, 14% over rated capacity), which I've tested one up to a little over 2500W continuous without issues but if the 400W is more than a 5% underestimate you'll be in trouble.
For powering 50 of the minion boards, I'd recommend 10 DPS2K setups. Your own configuration will determine what cable lengths and quantities you'll need. I don't have a lot of PSUs on hand presently, mostly just enough to test with and a few extras, but it looks like Minersource is starting to stock them in preparation for selling with these boards.

 It will be more like 500w once overclocked. So I am gonna take a shot and say I need 12-13 correct? If so, how soon can you have these made. BTW, I have ordered other items from you. Also I need a price for however many I need.

 I will also need 160 of the pcie cables with the connectors for the modules.

 So I am seeing around 50.00 each for the PSU's... Does this sound about right?

I seem to remember paying not as much for them but that was several months ago. bobsag3 said in a previous post that they've got around 50 they can sell for $45 plus shipping. I've not been able to get good word back from my usual PSU source about how many we can get ahold of to stock, or what prices look like.

These PSUs could still support 5 if they're right at or under 500W, but for safety (and marginally improved efficiency) it would probably be better to run 4 per. 50 would then require 13, or 12 if you did some clever load-balancing. At that range, you're in the second-tier price break of $57 per board. 160 cables would be $560 to $720 depending if you wanted 18" or 36" or a mix of both.


We're in preorder stage now for the boards; PCBs are expected to arrive about the 22nd and we'll have the rest of parts by then to start manufacture for shipping by the 25th. If you get in the queue right now, we'll probably be shipping your boards and cables on or before the 28th.

If you're interested in a purchase or want to discuss further, email sales@gekkoscience.com and we'll get you set up.

 I just remembered that the dell module came with cables. How many does this one come with?

[sidehack]

The Dell set came with 4 cables if you bought a full kit. Most people were using them for two 2-socket devices, so it made sense. These boards will support 12 cables without overlapping (for six 2-socket devices, which is great if each device pulls 400W or less) but the more capable a thing is, the more options you're going to have (especially since we're stocking two lengths of cable) so we don't have a "standard package" with one board + x cables. Basically you just ask for as many boards and as many cables as you actually want.

[sidehack]

Also we've gotten several people lately asking about hosting, which we've been considering for a while. The time to make decisions is now upon us, so we're looking for opinions.

If I may redirect the reader to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622998.msg7814500#msg7814500 for a look at what we might be doing before long, and gather some opinions and try to gauge general interest.


Regarding the DPS2K preorder, everything is still on schedule. We'll be assembling the rest of the necessary parts this coming week, in expectation of PCBs arriving middle of next week and starting manufacture. Hopefully our cables guy can figure out a good pace and stick to it because we're gonna need a lot of them.

[y_boonstra]

You still have some DPS2K breakout boards for sell?

with or without current sence?
What will be the total cost including shipping to EU ?

[sidehack]

We have no current stock DPS2K boards available. The only option is preorder, and any orders placed now should ship on or before the 30th.

EU shipping for up to about 2 boards and 20 cables will be in the $50 neighborhood.

[y_boonstra]

i need 1.. but maybe someone els would need 1 to in Eu (Netherlands), i PM him on ecointalk..

but you can put me in for 1

[AmDD]

*watching*

[data55]

Put me down for 2 please.

[sidehack]

Shipping will have to be figured on a per-order basis. Up to 4 boards and 48 cables will fit in a Regional A box and ship for $10. Past that and we'll have to estimate a quote. For ordering info, either PM me or email sales@gekkoscience.com and make sure to include
1) your forum nick
2) the country we'll be shipping to
3) how many of each type board you'd want
4) how many of each length cable you'd want
5) if you'd prefer to pay with BTC or PayPal

[nexus99]

ok, payment sent for 1 and some cables.

Is there anywhere accepting BTC for the PSU itself?

$40 per PSU + shipping, have plenty. On hand now, and they work great with the proto boards I have gotten from sidehack
