Let's see if we can ID everything else in that photo:
1. eMachines keyboard
2. APC UPS, probably a BR1500 or BR1200 unit
3. D-Link switch in the background
4. can't tell ... Belkin or APC surge suppressor?
But I digress. Excuse me while I "take matters into my own hands" as I look at this hashing pr0n

... and why do I think the most awesome part of that picture is the idea to use USB fans like that? 
Very 'cool' indeed

His post is indeed the classic definition of the meaning and use of the term FUD
Finally had enough of Luke-Jr's hubris to add him to my ignore list.
*sigh*
Thanks, friedcat !
-S all now keeps the cmd. window open but nothing shows
Ok, try with: bfgminer -S all -D -T -d?Edit: Also! Be sure you're using the special build I posted for Block Erupter USB!
I am having trouble getting my units to run on cgminer for windows.... no usb device found. Works on bitminter though. Any help would be appreciated!
cgminer doesn't work with standard drivers - if you really want it, you'll need to remove the normal driver and install a non-standard one....

cgminer doesn't work with standard drivers - if you really want it, you'll need to remove the normal driver and install a non-standard one.BFGMiner works similarly to cgminer, but has better ASIC support (including working with standard drivers).
where do I get a none standard driver?

Are you selling these to the public?
Anyone find a suitable USB hub that is powered and has enough spacing to allow for adequate cooling?
I found this one but the power supply only provides 2A @ 5V, meaning if each port pulls 500mA you'd only have enough power to run 4 USB Block Eruptors:

Also saw this one, but could find no details as to its power supply specs:

Last this one, but the side ports don't seem useable. Also, no power supply specs either:

I'm going to use an Anker 10 port hub. 4A @ 12V. They make good quality stuff.
I got a 6000mah usb battery from "Anker" with a integrated flashlight, which died after 3-4 months of usage. (battery is fine, just the flashlight isn`t working anymore)
On these grounds i wouldn't stick my usb miners into a very cheap usb hub.
Ah, okay, let me change that. I've found they make good quality hubs. I haven't had any issues with their hubs, and I haven't ever used any of their other products.
