Are specs available on the H-Board and how to interface with it directly? From reading the BF alpha tester thread it would seem that it uses SPI?
Thanks.

What state are you in? I think Dave is running Megabigpower out of CA so you may be subject to tax if your shipping to an address there.

Now the website is showing me $541... Wonder what's up with the 8% "tax" ?
Edit: It depends on whether or not I'm logged in. Logged in, it's still $500, no tax. Logged out it shows price + tax.

Whoah H-board price just jumped to $540
Really? I just bought one at $500. Don't see a price change on the website...

Hmm, interesting, showing as $500 for me.., even EU site at 350E = $480, so dunno where $540 comes from.

I assumed it needed to run with a laptop plugged in.
There are plenty of devices you can mine from with much lower power figures than a laptop.
True. I saw this site selling : MineNinja V2 Bitcoin Mining Host and they go for 1.5 BTC a piece.
They have decided to pursue other development options so this point is moot.
I think the take away I learned is... if you don't have something available with a delivery date of less than a month, you will be ripped to shreds on this forum. And also, the second teir asic business is a tough one if not run with opensource hardware/software ala burn-in bbk.
I do not agree. The takeaway is that if your products ROI is poor at delivery date and you appear to have overpriced your product compared to the competition you will be ripped to shreds.
They were 20% too high or one month too late.

ps. If you are looking for a good product idea, I recommend keeping chips out of it for now --- the chip pricing seems too steep for the segment you are in. Build a M-board clone that can mate with the H-boards and be a hero! Right now the "starter' kit is going to be $1300 in October. That includes a 500 H-board... which means the kit minus H-board is $800. You guys should be able to build a clone for $40 and sell it for $200 with no bitfury asics. Sell a pro model with larger gap spacing for heat sinks and fans and higher power for $400... Just my .0003 btc.
I think that is actually very wise, or the ability to easily change the clock settings to OC the H boards; although that might put Tom in a tough spot with warranties.I think with the ASIC storm coming it will be down to companies that help your hardware perform better, not another company with comparable hardware. (Once we get a company that can actually ship demand that is)
I would really like to have the option to OC. From the tests conducted it looks like the chips OC very well (theoretically one H-board should be able to pull 38 GH/s) so long as you can keep them cool. I have no problem dumping a lot of self-adhesive heatsinks all over the chips and voltage regulators on board.
I completely agree. I run out of a SOC Type II compliant Datacenter and have cold air to spare. I would love the ability to OC these and do some mods like installing basic heatsinks.
With just off the rack equipment I can easily cool 2-3kW of heat production.

July 10pc chips look like they've sold out. Somebody jumped on the last 17x10pc I had in stock. If the buyer flakes, I'll be sure to post.
[EDIT] Buyer confirms. Money is on the way. Sorry folks, I'll see if I can get my hands on more...no promises.
