Maybe I should close this thread down then? Is it really that important to know when the last guy receives his mini-rig?
Well, it's important to me. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Grats! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I know what that excitement feels like. I asked BFL for the name of the freight company. After Googling their contact info, I was able to go pick up my mini-rigs at the freight facility about 5 hours before they would have been delivered.

I did the same and saved 2 days :-) after answering a buch of strange apparently obligatory questions about the cryptic abilities of the the rig it cleared customs at an airport in the evening before a holiday 300km from the final destination (another city). it is still 300km away but mining :-)

Would it be possible for you guys to post photos of the rigs you receive so other people can see its real ?
There are a lot of people with few posts saying that they received the rigs, but i don't know if they can be trusted. I'm just saying...

What's even stranger is that I care. *shrug* I've uploaded the following pic to my album on imgur for you. (I'll be glad to delete it again, if you wish). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F34t2G.jpg&t=665&c=SCoa5lqqmf_Iiw) Here's the link again to my album: http://imgur.com/a/UanjrI use a different name on YouTube, but note that the mini-rig in the video is in the same spot as where I took the pictures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66KHMmbnQ_Y

Glad to hear it. BFL has really delivered a nice product even if everything planned for it didn't pan out.

Planned by them or you? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Well, they were supposed to use a sata cable PCB connector instead of USB hubs to connect the boards together. The LCD on the front of the rig also doesn't work. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

I can't see the panel anyway. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Wonder what the SC will have.

BFL Really needs to learn how to package things a bit better, and some threadlock wouldn't hurt either... three of the boards in mine were totally loose and floating around the case half way across the country. I was really surprised when I reassembled the thing and all 20 boards showed up and mined as they should. Yes, 20 boards ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The USB hubs and mess of wires inside are pretty funny, and really shows the small-business side of BFL haha.

20 boards :-) Some people are luckier than others :-)
I personally don't mind the cables. It shows that BFL was under extreme time pressure and I am happy to get an unfinished product sooner in this particular case/race.
