Bumping! (I should probably create my own thread for this eventually, but peoples' reviews are here, so I won't Tongue)

Sorry I forgot to include that. Throw me an address and I'll compensate you for that part + gas + time.

I hope you enjoy it! Your mods should be cool as well.

My Pirate box came today. I will try to find time to work on it this weekend. The next step it to ssh into the box and begin modding. This guide is what I am going to use.

It did not come with a battery pack, not sure why? A trip to Radio Shack should solve that. Here is what it looks like.



Thanks Garr255  Smiley

Can someone tl;dr for me?

I made a piratebox for Bitdragon then others wanted one and I made one for them now more people want one and I'm just using this thread as my marketplace Tongue

I just got three routers in today. Two are for sale, who wants them? Cheesy

This very interesting to me.
Subscribed and reading up on what a piratebox is/does exactly plus legal implications.

Only legal implications are, if you choose to put pirated or copywritten stuff on it.

If you dont, its perfectly legal.

If you do... who the hell is going to catch you ?   specially if its outta site and not on a table in front of you.

How much to ship to Australia ?
+1

Is there enough demand for a bulk order?

$32 to this to Australia. Or, if I ship to one of you then you forward it to the other, it will cost me $36.20 which you can split.

I was asked how the cost adds up to 19btc today, and here's the answer:

http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-Portable-802-11n-Wireless-TL-MR3020/dp/B006DEBXD0 - Router - $40
http://www.amazon.com/7805-5V-Voltage-Regulator-TO-220/dp/B0002ZPXJ6/ - vReg - $5
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Fit-Flash-Drive/dp/B005FYNSZA/ - 16gb drive - $14
http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-9V-Battery-Clip/dp/B0002ZPFU8 - Battery clip - $3
http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Holder-Standard-Snap-Connector/dp/B000LFRTIK/ - Battery holder - $8
Total $70 / 5.10 = 14btc + 4btc build fee + 1btc shipping = 19btc

Hopefully 19 sounds more appealing now!

If you compare it to anyone else offering pre-setup pirate boxes, its slightly cheaper with you..

Shipping from UK is a bit nuts price wise from your competitor..

Is there anyone with one of these set up that has a Watt meter, or one of those wall wattmeters they can plug it into while pulling a file from it...  Would love to know the typical draw..

I know the wall adapter is 1 amp, but im curious about the draw so I can find a suitable solar solution..

Thanks! Smiley

I just ordered three more routers and enough parts for five more battery power supplies.

These should be ready to go next week. Two of them will be extras in stock.

If using six or more AA batteries in conjunction with the regulator, I recommend purchasing a TO-220 heatsink for it.

I will be ordering ten of these but they won't arrive for a few weeks.

After testing I am going to mod the interface to make my rescue version. How is this for a logo?

Haha, sweet Cheesy

I just uploaded that to your box, but I didn't apply it to the web page.

I ordered one yesterday and will be buying another tomorrow. Does anybody else want one?

Haha that's really cool.

Teflone just sent me a PM ordering one and mentioned he's going to try to hook it up to some solar panels, which will be sweet.

So does that mean I should order another? Tongue

Ive been looking for something like this as I sometimes go to Melbourne and sit at the city square with a solar powered generator and let people charge their mobiles and laptops. Running a piratebox from solar would be a nice extra Smiley

Thanks for the purchase, it will ship on Tuesday.

I am going to always try to keep one in stock for those who want to buy. I'm going to order parts for this one this week.

Thanks all!
