Hi Guys just off the phone to UPS, will receive my miners tomorrow in the UK, have to pay £287 pounds for 5x S3 in import custom duty. Works out £57 pounds each, would like to hear from anyone else who has paid import duty

did UPS ring you and is it cash on delivery or do you need to pay another way ? £57 sucks

Old S1 DNA was passed onto S3 and the Feature is Alive!!! Don't have to worry about if the Ant is working or not by listening that known BEEP...

Bangkok ?? they are going the wrong way. North not south you foolish UPS person

Are you sure you want your package to travel in a straight line through friendly countries like Afghanistan?

Im sure they would be fine at 50000 feet flying over Afganistan. Mine are obviously traveling on a bus though

Not sure you would want to, but looks easy to swap out the fans for better ones (if these ones are poor quality)

It is easy, I did it with some Ant S1, but I mostly just installed a 2nd fan at the end to improve cooling.

As this one already comes with 2 fans, there isn´t really too much reason to swap fans.

Sure, these are server grade fans, but they work really well at moving lots of air.

Maybe you could reduce noise by 20% by changing too some brand fans, but noise on the S3 is already quite low.

I was wondering the same thing...must...see...a naked Ant S3!

there is... at some website, like wholesale
i forgot where i saw it

the inside is kind of same design as the R3 of rockminer...

Here its. An image without cover from an alibaba seller at alibaba.com
500 to 600 is the price is USD.
This is wholesale price but they even ship one unit unlike bitmaintech's minimum order quantity of two.
Alibaba also provides their own custom shipping with shipping charge discount if you opt it.
Alibaba also provides escrow system somewhat like ebay for security of buyer.

B1 order placed 2014-07-01 08:41.
Still not shipped.
I think that I'm probably at the end of the line.

It seems that S2's are out of stock so maybe they will now concentrate on S3 production....hopefully.
