For anyone with orders that they are still wanting to convert- BA has increased the chip offer.
120 Chips from now on per X3, 7 Chips per X1.
Bob, By order still did not get converted (batch 2 conversion). no email recieved yet.. does this mean i will get 7 chips? for the technobit conversion? |

bobsag3 and marto74, what's the schedule for the next batch? When does the order need to be converted to chips, and when will the next batch of boards be produced? |

I just discovered this thread, thanks to MS facebook page.
I have one X-1 on order from MS, and I think I have this figured out, but not sure. Could you please confirm if I've got it down?
One X-1 = 7 chips.
8 chips = 1xboard w/4 chips, and 4 chip assembly fee - (so I'm short 1 chip - $50 owed?)
They assemble the board, I pay shipping to US address (eta cost? how heavy is the board?)
I then need to purchase, separately, 4 CPU coolers (~$25 ea x 4 = $100), one controller ($50 from MS), and a 500 (or 600?) watt PSU ($50).
End product - 400ghs @ 400 watts, eta early September.
Total additional cost: ~$250 + unknown shipping?
Am I doing the math right? And is this possible for a X1 owner?
Compared with waiting for a 100ghs in the same timeframe, it seems like a pretty good deal, but I want to be sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks!

Update.
The boards are populated and tested @ this stage.
@ the moment each board is tested with heatsink and cooler.
This is a slow process. Then the boards pass 2 hour test each.
Hopefuly will manage to start shipping in Saturday.
Our shipping girl will start contacting you all tommorow for transport details

Even better! Still need to know if I can do the trade with just a single X-1. And how I go about paying the difference. Read through most of the thread but seems everyone has x-3's or lots of x-1s. |

hi guys i just saw this topic a while a go and started reading it from page 1...
i have some questions in my mind.. and the first one is do i need to buy 4 coolers for each board...? i saw someone saying its 25usd for each then it is 100bucks for all 4 just for one board...?
if it is a yes then this is gonna be a pricy one for converting my x3 order...
thank you very much..
I ordered 200 today for 19.00 with free shipping and no tax. You really need to look around if your spending 25 each. |
