it doesn't have a lid?

Specs ok but don't like the open design. I wish the price were lower also.  :-\

It does have a lid, just for show. Otherwise the pictures would be identical to S3 :P

You might want to read what Bitmain says before posting.  No top or bottom.
[/quote]

You might consider taking your own advice.  BM responded and said [i]there is a bottom[/i], but not a top.  An "open top design." ;-)

+1

let's get pedantic while we wait on them opening sales.

??? wasn't this the last thing Warranty said? Topless and bottomless.. seems strange to me but thats what he said.

Everyone loves TOPLESS right?  ;D ;D ;D
[b]S5 batch 1 will even be the Bottom Less!!...  (I thought it had the bottom plate but I think I was wrong.  I just realized that....)

Side will  have the cover.

Also not sure why having the pcie ports on the open top side will make them more stackable, rackable side-by-side yes but not stackable on top of each other.

it's going to be a concern, because one way or another, there is going to be lost rack space due to the build.
i think the best situation for this miner will be for the home use, stacked 3 or 4 high, and saving on heating bills. (since i downclocked my SP20, the downstairs of my flat isn't as warm anymore. I need to get more.)

You could stack them on their sides?

I was looking forward to the S5, but with the current pricing... a little disappointed, add the cost of a psu and shipping... more disappointment...

well... let me put this out there...

i can only presume that if you are still buying miners at this stage of the game, then you are bound to have a PILE of PSU's laying around... probably a few dormant ones too, but i hear you about the price... right around the corner in 2015 is some serious hashrate at mega efficiency, just baking waiting to be unleashed... ROI in MAY? S5 won't get that far i'm afraid.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS,

and forgive me...

i'm rarely wrong.

[sikke]

I am sold.

Please take my money. I will order

[dogie]

SP20 wins hands down in all departments. Bitmain still haven't got the S3 firmware right yet, so I can't wait to see their attempts at getting this working properly......

bloody hell Pat, what happened to your trust rating? you been getting in a scrap?

 

Yeah, dogie hates me, BAN hate me too.....

None of it are from sales - they just hate me......

For months he (and his other 'associates') were following me around making libellous comments.

[raskul]

...and there went the BMT S5 test batch.

May 2015 ROI? not fucking likely.

The S5 does have a clear advantage for some people. The fan noise. Some just can't deal with the SP20 noise.

I can stand SP20 (fan 50, 1350-1360 gh) when I am 20 feet away (not in the same room), with a caveat that I did not try fan at 20 yet, but would have to either create a noise reducing solution or cannot expand/buy more. Hacking the setting of fan to 15 maybe another route.

That's something weird with the SP20 which I can't understand. The SP35 [if you can avoid PSU fans spoiling up] is quieter than the SP20 which makes no sense :s

[raskul]

the question in hand is MAY 2015 ROI.

stop avoiding the topic with slander against your competition.

Try fan design and acoustic of the casing? The casings does amplify sounds. I don't own any SP so, can't really comment... I'm just posting to get my activity up. LOL

[dogie]

Give us the DATE?
When will we be able to check the shipping charges?

Thanks

Do we know what shipping costs will be?

weight and size is almost the same so i guess whatever shipping you see for the S3, the same will be for S5... I hope not as it is quite high for where I am at right now

This. If you want to estimate shipping, add one of the other similar items to basket. C1 is heavier due to the waterblocks and cooling kit though.

I think we know which payroll dogie is on.

By slandering you mean strongly praising the SP35 in my review? There is something off with the SP20's acoustics, that's just a fact. Ps, its libel.

[dogie]

Would be nice if Bitmain re-introduced the option to ship via / with EMS - I am sure it will be a lot cheaper than UPS (and obviously DHL). I know they are not as fast as the other behemoths, but we'd be selecting them in that knowledge.

I just went to their site and it was listed as an option with UPS and DHL for S3 orders. Should be the same with s5s

You are right, they must have re-ntroduced them lately ..... and they are NOT cheaper than UPS for the C1, so looks like will be the same for the S5. Bummer! Seems UPS are Bitmain's preffered shipper ...

Bitmain, could you register as a VAT collection point for shipments to the EU? Would be nice to pay my VAT with the order and not have to deal with your preffered shipper's (UPS) archaic tax processing methods!

I mean, these guys did not send me an invoice and neither did they notify me nor offer me the opportunity to pay due VAT until the van driver turned up on my door and asked me for either a cheque (yes a check in this day and age!) or to phone their office so I could pay via card before he could hand over my S3+'s!

I'll look into that, thanks. Yes I know how annoying UPS is with import charges, where as DHL does it near perfectly.

i use the word slander on account that it is not a legal term in the country in which I live.
Had I used the term 'Libel' I could be called to account on it.

no, it's not libel until it's proven, it's simple slander.

There is always a chance or possibilities, but we DO NOT recommend any over clocking.  S5 specific, may be but count it as not much...  Please don't count on OC potential when you calculate mining gain as power consumption usually goes up and the hard ware failure may happens.

BitmainWarranty, what is the overclocking potential of S5??

Without voltage control assume 0 and be pleasantly surprised later if there is any.

Jesus, dogie poo explosion here......

His posts alone are enough to put people off buying Bitmain gear, let alone the firmware/prices problems.....

he's on the clock, he has to put his time in.

[dogie]

waiting for independent review

i'm about as independent as they'll find.

Says one of SpondooliesTech's largest affiliates.... with the christmas tree banner advertising competitor's products....

But what you will get is a dogie review, because they are paying him to do it. Bear that in mind when he tells you it's the bestest minerz in the wiurld.

Since when have I said that about a BITMAIN miner? I'm also assuming you didn't bother reading the #2 post and this bit of my contract:

Dogie will speak on behalf of BITMAIN and will not criticize BITMAIN in these threads. Dogie still reserves the right to criticize BITMAIN in his other threads. Both parties acknowledge that this relationship has no impact whatsoever on BITMAIN’s rating or standing in “Dogie’s ‘Manufacturer Trustworthiness” thread.

But anyway, please stay on topic. This is an S5 thread, you can open up a scam accusation thread for me as I've said many, many times before.

Ouch....
