Could tell me somebody the fans are 120x38 or 120x20mm?

Just received my lone S2. I can confirm that the straps on the box do nothing but entice the driver to sling it around 1-handedly as I watched the man grab it and bounce it off the 2-steps of his truck. The package is well worn around the edges for just 3-day trip and has nice rip into the side. Unboxing now. Bad note, I can hear things rolling around inside the box already.

Cash - UPS don't take credit cards (in the UK anyway)...
My UPS in Scotland/UK Took Card fine but tbh best doing it over the phone so there is no on hand delivery charges plus means a lot faster

Yes but to be fair Bitmain is standing behind the problems, and is taking ALL of the loss (including paying for return shipping). They are the only company reliably shipping 1 Th/s miners and they did it without pre-orders. They already have a fix for Batch 2. They are responding to my emails within hours (or minutes) and have been very apologetic. I cannot think of another company that has been so reliable and easy to deal with so my loyalty is still with Bitmain despite my disappointment at the S2's condition.
The S1's are like Sherman tanks - indestructible, well engineered, cheap, efficient and powerful. I **wish** the S2 had all of the same characteristics, but still the S2 is the best in the 1 Th/s class of miners - so far. And when bitmain introduces a more efficient S3? (yeah, hopefully 5 Th/s for 6 BTC lol) I will be there to order as many as I can get.

what a complete trainwreck. geezus. considering s1's will be worthless in 3 months tops. it's time for an alternative. how about a 5Th for 6.5 btc. mmmmm hmmmmm
i thought there was an issue with that image?
ok, i ordered the Micro SD cards, going to pick up on way home...mine probably got corrupted when i rebooted..weird.
anyway, i need a good image and if someone can tell me the proper way to install it on the micro SD card that would be great.
I dont know if it just a copy paste, which i doubt if its going to be bootable.

Manual for the S2
Firmware:
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/firmware_S2
use this program: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
its very simple.
1) put card in computer (requires an SD reader)
2) use the above program to backup an image of whats on the card to your desktop (just in case)
3) use the program to format the card (fat32 should be the default)
4) use the program to write the new image to the card - should take under a minute if the image is only 14MB
5) eject the SD, put it in your unit, and boot up
^it looks like the firmware is a .tar -> unless the win32diskimager can use .tar, you might need to use winrar to extract the actual file
^^ the firmware is a really odd file format, '.bin.SD' rather than the typical .iso or .img - maybe somebody can actually make an image of thier own SD card in a more common format?
^^^maybe the firmware can just be copy-pasted to the SD - a bit of googling seems like it may be in a format that the linux beaglebone can open and run automatically...?

So i guess all i need now is a good working image...anyone have one ready to go yet?

I just need a good image and instructions on how to get it on the micro SD correctly
http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup
The Instructions should be the same for pushing the boot image.
would these work? some of them are high capacity cards and am not sure if they are compatible with the BBB

Either the Sony or the Kingston I guess. IMO I would get one with the extra full SD card expansion for the microSD, so you can double use it later and not have to have a micro slot to read and image it on something else.

FYI I heard back from Bitmain - nice fast customer service. A few relevant points: (1) They are standing behind the products, and they promised to refund my trashed unit immediately (we will see how quickly that really happens, but hopeful), (2) they are letting me try to salvage Unit 1 from the control board in Unit 2 without voiding warranty (this was pursuant to authorization so maybe not a universal permission), and (3) they said that BATCH 2 units have a fix for the weak mounting of the boards, which they are aware of.
did you email them? the info@ email?
Yes
Also they told me they would be posting the manual soon.
