What if you buy $80,000 worth of s3 I'd have around 66TH/S in power.
Since I don't pay for electricity I'd get my ROI in about 71 days and make about 300k in one year...? Why isn't everyone doing this.. Lol

There is a difference between not paying electricity and having infinite electricity. Your lease might provide you with free utilities but don't think that they'll let you use over a $1000 in electricity per month.

more like $5000

This industry is so dynamic it's not possible to accurately project earnings, prices or hashing power on the network  from month to month. It's a very fast paced space both in innovation of technical products and services. However, that's why this is so much fun!

We have Batch 2's for sale - theres a few others selling them in the Hardware section as well.

Do you have them in stock or preorder?

[SFMiner]

It looks like my order is now stuck in Canadian customs, as they are looking for proof of payment. 

Has anyone else had this issue? I could probably just print a screenshot of my order, stating that it was paid, but I wonder if I should get that directly from Bitmain showing the CAD $ value.  Any advice is welcome!

They have already been shipped, so in-hand by end of week we're aiming for.

Do you ship to Norway?

[reactor77]

I like it! You will hear from me again within the next 1-2 days.   Would like to talk to you in private ,if possible,but if you mind-forum talk is fine for me.

Talk to you soon.

According to Canadian Customs, Bitmain shipped without a commercial invoice.  They found what could be an invoice, but it's written in Chinese, and they only accept English or French.  

I wonder if this could also be impacting shipments that haven't left China yet - maybe UPS is trying to prevent more shipments from leaving without the proper documentation.  

Perhaps Bitmain could pro-actively make everyone's commercial invoices available through our user accounts, in the appropriate currency and language, so we can resolve the customs issues ourselves (if they come up).

I just emailed Bitmain with this info, so hopefully I'll get this resolved ASAP.

Whats the best way to stack these? Currently I have mine on their side sitting on top of each other. Should I take off the cases or are they fine with them on? I don't plan on OC'ing ATM.

W/O a custom rig the best way is just on their sides like you have them. Double check temps to make sure they aren't causing any restrictions.

I put my S1s vertically, on simple 2x4s, with the inlet on the bottom, and outlet on the top.  I put a set (whatever I can fit on one PSU) together, spaced apart as wide as I can get them but still be in the airflow of a box fan.
