I have a UPS tracking number for my batch 2 S2.

Same here. Although...it has not been received by UPS yet. So it has not left the building at this point.

Exact same situation here - which is a little dissapointing since IMO this is no longer shipping 'BEFORE april 10' - It will probably be the 12th when Bitmain hands over the package to UPS, which is 2 (if not 3) days behind the promise.

Bitmain has been excellent in every previous order - hopefully there will be a coupon or other remediation for the delay (even if only a slight delay, its a loss of ~$35/day)

Haha you got jokes, I RMA an S1 and it was sitting there for over 3 weeks before they finally decided to send back a replacement after difficulty went up twice, not to mention the return shipping i had to pay….no compensation or discount applied in sight.

If its just 3 days though be grateful since there are other customers that bought from other companies that are still delayed. Nonetheless that does not justify not meeting deadlines promised to customers

web interface says shipped

UPS says WHEN the item arrives in their facility (aka SHIPPED), status will be updated...

Hence, NOT actually SHIPPED yet.... just a label created which may or may not be stuck to a box yet.

So weighted and packed up is better than still farming. . . .

Become a NewEgg premier member. For $50 a year, free 3-day shipping, discounts on 2 and 1 day shipping, and free return shipping. I've been a member since it became available about 2 months ago, and I've already recouped the cost on shipping.

These server PSU's are very loud so take that into consideration depending on where you will be running your miner.

I have ONE AND I am not impressed with it. My sea sonic came in I paid 99 after rebate I now have 2 of them this model

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151120 I got two of these now total cost with sale and rebates 99+99 = 198

no one but no one sells a 1520 watt platinum psu for only 198 . right now they are running 3 s-1's 600gh pulling 1146 watts really nice for s-1s

I may add a few grid seeds to them as I have more power overhead may be able to run 25 grid seeds script only.

I am going to wait on the s-2's >I have 7 s-1's 25 grid seeds and 60 ant miner u2's about 1.5th plus 700khs all power used just about 3.3 k-watts.

would be a lot easier to run if I had 2 s-2s and 2 grid seed blades. I am going to sell off all the sticks to order a blade.

Nothing beats a 1200axi.

Looks neat... but for what? Only 100a on the 12v line. Most people here aren't going to be plugging into a USB header to get output. And expensive!!
Rosewill 1300 is $100 cheaper, 108a on the 12v line (so can drive 3xS1 OCd), and is also "up to 92% efficient" despite being gold and not platinum.

M

Its the intangibles that make the 1200 unbeatable, see my sig for a breakdown. Its also comfortably 110a 24/7 due to how Corsair rates it. 23dba fan at full load, 93% eff at full load, 7 year warranty.

I've looked at your PSU guide before, thanks. I've had bad experiences with Corsair.

Manufactuer specs:
Corsair ax1200i
Rosewill 1300

The specs for this 1200 says "80 PLUS Platinum certified, delivering up to 92% energy efficiency under real-world load conditions". The Rosewill 1300 says "> 87%, Up to 92%".

Corsair provides an efficiency graph, which show ~93% with 220v at 100% load. For most US folks, we use 115, which works out to 90% at full load.
Rosewill doesn't give a graph. However knowing how higher voltage leads to more efficiency, I would imagine the Rosewill would do better at 220v as well.

Both are 7 year warranties.
Corsair clearly states 100.4A on the 12v rail. Rosewill clearly states 108A on the 12v rail. If I ran the 1200 at 110A and it blew, what would I tell Corsair? Doggie said I could?

The Corsair has a 120mm fan.
The Rosewill has a 140mm fan.

Please, I'm curious, can you point out what's so much better about the $100 more expensive Corsair?

The S2 is so loud that I can't imagine the server PSU having too much of an effect. I wish I'd gotten the S2 in late December, it would have done an awesome job keeping my garage at a good temp!

I did the shoprunner thing Newegg was pushing before. If you cancel during the trial, they offer you a chance to extend it for 3 months (totally free) which automatically turns into a year if you use the service 3 times in that 90 day period. On top of that, shoprunner will give you a full free year if you have an AMEX card. I've been getting it for free for a while and still have about a year left of free, I think.

Does UPS Express work over the weekend?

NOT in the USA, be there Monday B4 8:00 ;(

O/T - Just got 2 1300W EVGA Supernova's = NICE, same size as AX1200i, comes w/ jumper adapter, Velcro ties.. $250-ish @ microcenter!

I know an S2 who's getting a new PSU!!

you could get them from newegg for $180 after rebate - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011

Yes but rebate only for 1 (which is same @microcenter) and 2-day shipping was $44.95 (10.98 @mc).. Plus you can return to local store with microcenter, must pay return shipping to Newegg.. for the $6 diff I went with local return.
