Hello!
How many the kilogram weighs ant2?

Guys calm down about the PSU. I've ordered an S2 and will do a setup guide and review - if it burns my flat down then I'll let you know 
In all seriousness, I'll obviously check power consumption and PSU spec'ing.

How did you manage with customs ? I know Juan from 112 does not ship direct UK.
I've never had a problem with UK customs, but I'm VAT registered so it makes no difference either way - I just claim it back later.
Also dusted off my 1500W single PSU in case we need to do any heavy testing for the cooling mods
yay that's great. please do lots of heavy testing
I know it's a bit early for this, but do you guys think they should make like a s1.5 or s1 revision 2 so it would be 200 gh/s 200 watts?Technically its feasible as basically your cutting a s2 into fifths. Think that would sell like hot cakes 
The problem you run up against is shipping costs. At current prices shipping makes up a significant portion of the price of the S1. Time to move on to bigger and better things.
If you really want 1/5 of an S2 you should start or join a group buy.

there is no reason to. The S1 was 4.75BTC when it came out, with a bitcoin price higher than it is now. It is now only 1/5th of that. In 6 months from now the S2 will cost <2BTC
From my POV, bigger is better. less wires, more cost effective.

I want a Bitmain Tshirt 
. HOW TO GET?!
. HOW TO GET?!For the price, they should just ship us one with our orders.
That would be an amazing promotional value for only a few bucks each.
that said, it would probably end up with goodwill or some guys insane bitcoin memorabilia collection

Damn right! Or two! One for the ladies

+1. Stop getting your panties in a knot over vague technical specifications. Bitmain has a prototype right now (that i assume works just fine) so it seems VERY unlikely they would be stupid enough to skimp on the PSU rather then be smart and install a power supply that has some headroom. They are not tech-illiterate, and the S1 proved that handily.
I imagine that Bitmain has arranged some sort of deal with enermax that they will buy PSUs in bulk, within china, and get very good cost, high quality models. Even with the extra shipping weight it probably works out cheaper then letting customers buy one on delivery - and might be partially influenced by the forum threads full of people complaining about their units malfunctioning [because they are trying to use <500W power supplies]
I use server supplies for a lot of my gear, which gives me 1000W for about $30 + an hour of my time (getting the supply, testing it, soldering cables, testing it again, praying its not one with a screaming 2000RPM fan, etc), but I have no issues with a supply being included if the quality and price are right.
You see, it's a matter of choice which you can't do anything about just like I can't do anything about your choices. Like I stated earlier, "knock yourself out" if you're comfortable with the stock 1000W S2 PSU. I couldn't care less. I just prefer to have at least a 1200W PSU for it for good reasons. That's all.
Also, believing that Bitmain will provide a machine to the correct spec that won't overload the psu is not bordering on fanaticism, it's just a simple observation based on my past experience. Fanaticism is usually based on irrational beliefs and I don't think I was being irrational.
All we can do now is wait for a reply from Bitmain, but I've placed an order in batch 2 anyway
What assumption? You're beating a dead horse. A 1000W PSU is a 1000W PSU whether it be ATX or schmiTX or whatever. Besides, I didn't just pull the S2 specification straight out of my sphincter. Just in case you haven't caught up yet, Bitmain has officially released the S2 spec on their site and I went by that. You keep assuming that Bitmain is going to put in a better PSU but there's no evidence to that effect; it's still the same 1000W Enermax 80 Plus Gold to date. I will believe it when they say so and officially publish such a revision. Until then, I go by the relatively puny 1000-Watter.
AntMiner S2 SPEC:
l Hash rate: more than 1,000GH/s
l Power consumption: 1,000W from the wall
l Power efficiency: 1Watt/GH/s
l PSU: 1000W produced by Enermax, 80PLUS gold
l 4U Rack
l PSU inside
l Plug and Mining
l Stable and quietly
The S1 overclocking was limited by the chip design (somewhat by voltage too, but mostly design). The S2 is limited by the included power components and a HUGE stock underclocking.
Only if you can also increase the voltage. To get to 1J/GH at the wall they are almost certainly undervolting; to get it going back at the higher clock rates you may have to change the voltage on the board. How hard that will be to do remains to be seen.

I can at least confirm 100% that the S2 proto and retail units will have ATX supplies, unless they have changed that in the last week.
Hahah if put that sorry will be big mistake
Must sent as repair PC unit with value 100 dollars only
Write them and email FFS! Must sent as repair PC unit with value 100 dollars only
