I got one of these. I like the fact that it was around the hobby price mark (80$ on amazon). Sure, its close to 1 watt / ghash, but at that price point its ok. Eventually I'll get an sp20 (once they bring it down to a reasonable price, what with the recent crash of BTC/USD).
My only complaint about the new R box is the noise. I ended up removing the guts of the R box from the metal frame and making a foam shroud with a nice 120 mm silencio fan. Now the thing hashes away in my living room.
I totally agree with your comments. Very nicely priced for the hobby miner.
These little things are noisy.
I've spoken with Alex via Skype and he said there is a new 100GH/s miner due out soon.
Hopefully we will have a R-Box with less power consumption per GH/s.
As I've said I'm debating setting up my own mini S5 farm maybe about five or so but going to wait and see where the price is heading. I'd love to have an SP20 but wish it was cheaper.
Anyways happy hashing lol.
Cheers
