These guys were added back to the bitcoin hardware wiki on Nov 10 2014 - but I see nothing on them in the forum and can't find any real pics of their hardware, only renderings. Any members have experience with them? Not taking pre-orders, they claim shipping within 1-2 business days. Bitcoin payment only. Has all the familiar makings of a scam. Is there anyone from Achilles Labs present on the forum that cares to comment? https://www.achilleslabs.com/

I like the prices have not heard of them. Look like renderings still, but i could be wrong on that small pictures. I'm personally scared to order from companies without a lot of trust that are using renderings.

Prices were good as of last week but spondoolies just dropped their prices dramatically. Even with included power supplies, the AM-1700 is a little expensive at $1095. With a unit weight of 11kg, shipping will likely be more. 4U size too.

Shipping cost looks to be zero, I have just performed a checkout.

I don't think that will happen here. Renderings still, that scares me.

From the Sales Team. My questions to them are denoted with >
Hello, [Egon],
thank you for your interest in our hardware.
> 1) You say you do all your design in-house, does this include the chip development? Or are you using chips designed by another ASIC company?
We are using chips purchased from another Chinese manufacturer. Further assembly is done by us.
> 2) Can you provide any actual pictures of your miners instead of just computer renderings?
I am forwarding your request to our tech guys and hopefully they will be able to come up with something to make you a little more assured.
Thanks.
-- Tony T., Achilles Labs Sales Department
