Got any examples? This seems unlikely to me.

here is your example : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/price-reduced-dps-2000bb-2000w-server-psu-interface-board-637595

Seems like that is going to cost more than $10 per S3.

If you don't want the fancy board, and use just bare cables and something to hold them on the PSU you could find Dell 750w's for around $10 with a few dollars more to buy the cables.

you are forgetting the time and work required to modify the server psu - could take half an hour to cut cables and solder them on. Atop that, server gear may have lower efficiency and lifespan compared with an 80+ gold ATX supply, and can be way louder (if that matters in the setup)

I personally switched all my DPS800 stuff over to 1200W GOLD or better supplies when i found some on the used market at good prices

Edit:
We're honoring the 250 machines price point although less than 200 were actually paid.

I hope enough people see this. I won't praise SP-Tech for this because ~~people~~ trolls will say I am biased, but this should be remembered.

No drama here..but just a note that on the group buy above.....the closed group buy page shows 386 units sold and less then 200 paid for according to Spondoolies...wow!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-spondoolies-tech-sp30-pre-order-specs-069gh-046wgh-575499

I did not realize that on such group buys (perhaps?) you can have such a drop in NOT paying etc.... Kinda shocked that
almost 50% do not pay..IN FULL....maybe this is common just pointing it out....

Searing

One customer, the 185 machines, decided not to honor the reservation.
Above 98% of the rest did.

Well..that certainly will do it....had me wondering there...ouch!

Thanks for your efforts on our behalf on here....good to see the support active on a forum by an equipment seller...it is refreshing ..
and unfortunately unique in my experience.

Searing

Thanks Spondoolies-Tech for honouring the Group Buy price point for the rest of us. I'm shocked to hear that the 185 machine Whale dropped out.

I didn't even know Oct hardware was up for sale so even if we are able to put any btc together we will be again at the back of the bus ....niiiice

Spondoolies doesn't want your order. They want orders from people who have cash. Orders from people to whom they owe cash do nothing but annoy them. Previous customers are a pain in the ass. They just want new fresh blood with pockets full of cash. Previous customers keep asking for reductions due to getting fucked on their last order. You think a company can make money dealing with people who expect 'compensation'. No way. That is not how it works.

But +18.5 BTC for RoadStress
...

Most of it was contributed for good causes. Go find the GB and read the OP

I'm not saying anything... He earned it

Btw, wouldn't' it be fair to wait with offering SP31 for sale until you release compenstion offers so we would have a chance to calculate your compensation against possible buy of SP31?
Atm, I don't know if I should invest in SP31 or not, becasue I have got no clue what the compensation is going to include...

Also, me and many have not even had a chance to earn anything yet from my GB units to invest in SP31...

Yeah no shit, we should have got first dibs on any October hardware this is getting ridiculous

I guess we will have to wait for the response until late Thursday although someone has been obviously reading our posts, because I had one of my other posts about KNC (I called them cryptoc*nce) deleted just 2 hours after the above post

You forgot the PSU costs. Everyone always forgets the PSU cost. The S3 does not cost $305, it costs at least $350.

Only if you're setting up a single S3. If you doing any sort of farm, you're going to use server power supplies which cost maybe $10 per S3.

Got any examples? This seems unlikely to me.

The Dell 750w can be purchased for around that, a few cables and a large enough quantity would get that price.

Or you could purchase a breakout board adds a bit more to the PSU cost, its easier and sometimes looks nicer.
