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.  |

The thread is also a good basis for a Mini Rig SC waiting list :-)

Well, it's important to me. Mine should ship next week! Grats! 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. |

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).  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. |

Well, those are planned ideas that didn't work out, which are ok by me. I can't see the panel anyway. 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  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.
