Chips are just a small part of the costs.
Regardless of how many chips there are on the board, there is still costs for: general labour, manufacturing, testing, software/drivers, components (PCB, PCI-E connectors, control chips, etc, etc, etc, etc), shipping, packaging, payment processing, design, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
It's really not like, let's take the price for 8 chips, remove 4 and halve the price. Not even close. Not even remotely close.
Really no offense, but if you just can't afford it or don't want to spend this amount, look for something else?
Same thing as going to a Ferrari dealer and asking to buy one, but with a 3 cilinder engine in it, because you can't or don't want to spend that kind of money on it.
(I know these aren't the "Ferrari's" in the mining world, but just to make my point clear)

Marto, how about making board with 2 chip only 
Small miner like me can't afford to buy the miner at that price
I agree, I am reluctant to spend more than $1.000 on any given miner atm. Small miner like me can't afford to buy the miner at that price

It means higher labour cost. That's why most people try to produce big 1500W machines. That max out the US home power socket.
Technobit's Bitcoin miners are quite small compared to what most produce. Bitmine.ch (the A1 chip maker) wont sell below 500GH miners.

LOL, Black Arrow X-1 will be available on 30 Apr 2014. You can count the difficulty at that time.
BFL 300GH/s, i don't know when exactly they will ship the product.

Seems a little high, the market is looking at $3/GH by April, and I was hoping for €1000 ($3/GH + 20% VAT) but maybe people will pay €1499.
I guess it's half the price of 6x Hex16B = 260GH which was 2999 EUR. (Still waiting for that ROI) So it's a good deal in that respect.
I really need to know how the W/GH at the wall compares with the Hex16B though (420W for 6x) and how noisy (hoping no 4500RPM fans!).
€1499 = 2.42 BTC. 260GH will mine about 0.06BTC a day right now. That's around 1.8BTC/pm (if theres no huge jump in difficulty/deliver on time)

The test board is ready
now waiting for the first sample chips to start tests
What's the eta on the sample chips?now waiting for the first sample chips to start tests
January 20, 2014, 07:51:34 PM
The board is working stable @ 90+ GHs ( about 30+ GHs per chip) 8-10 hours already
Here is the preliminary look of the miner with cooling
Nicely done. Alas, have you thought about different fan placing? Those two fans look really loud. Maybe something like an AntMiner S1 construction? Where the fan blows horizontal on the board and not from top and bottom? Here is the preliminary look of the miner with cooling
Agree, you just need some angle brackets,
and some metric spacers,
then you could mount a single fan blowing over both heatsinks and still be stackable.

What is the W/GH? I'd be interested to know if it beats 2xHex16B which are 120W at the board for 90GH
I'm waiting for this too so +1!
January 20, 2014, 06:28:02 AM
I used to run 5x hd6590 from one psu, they were power hungry but that 1200wat psu never failed a bit, sure you could use one of them to power 5 HEX8A1 :-)
Yeah I know you can,t stack them but maybe place them in a shelf all next to each other.

HMM
2 PCI-E plugs for 1 miner?
That kinda kills the idea of buying more and stacking them to a "tower" like we could with the previous ones. Well, it's still possible, but then we'd need more PSU's.
How much is the power usage on these current models? Any numbers you can share?
Yeah when you need OC there is nothing you can do about it. Chip needs power dude:)2 PCI-E plugs for 1 miner?

Yeah I did try to talk Marto into using a single 8-Pin PCI-E socket. Everyone has 4x 6+2 power connectors these days on 1000W PSUs.
You can get 8-pin to 2x6pin converters but we'll have to see how much power it draws to know if they'd work or melt.
