i received my s5 but after an hour of hashing, one of the hashboard shows 30 "-" (dashes). tried powering up one board and its the same

I own a metal fab shop, would anyone be interested in either galvanized, aluminum or stainless covers for their S5s? Cardboard is a really bad idea.
I'd be interested, what kind of price do you think ballpark?
Not sure, I need to get my hands on the dimensions. I'd likely use galvanized to keep the price as low as possible. Looks like I'd need to knock out 6 holes per capping with the water jet, 4 PCI-e and 2 data ribbons. I might try to get my hands on a dead or cheap S5 locally to get proper measurements.

Bitmain, we need another (small) batch of S5s!
or the S6
The S6 and S2 upgrade kits.

Batch 5 sold out on the Bitmain site? Unless you want to do a bulk order. :-(
yup just noticed the same thing 
Edit: DHgate seems to show still in stock if you want to pay with credit card.
Thanks, I'll give that a try ...... :-)

I'm not sure, how can I tell?
lex_minutor, S2 based on beaglebone black too?

Galvanized would be fine for me. I would be looking for 2 of them
It depends on price. But I would love a nice metal one (assuming it's not high and adds a lot to ROI). I like the idea for sure, but comes out to cost on me.

They could of kept the miners in a filtered room without dust OR they could of just replaced the heatsinks and fans.
The Chinese aren't wasting money on filtered rooms. That's why they're winning
also would adding a back fan decrease the temps enough to slow down the front one??
what if i used one of those fan speed adapters.. im assuming the fan is just a regular 4 pin pwm connector?
i have a few of those that come with CM fans that are preset to 1800 and 1600 and 1200. altho i think those speeds are set for a 2500 rpm fan, i think its 70% 60% and 50%

No, not enough to make any significant difference. You could use a resistor cable but I can't think of one which is rated for the 1A+ the fan uses. That's 2W of reduction that tiny resistor has to dissipate, a huge huge amount. Replace the fan if you want to get it quieter.

depends on cost , nice idea thu over what's on it . ID want one or two if the cost isn't to high with shipping.
What material would you guys want it made out of? Galvanized would be cheapest, while stainless would be the most expensive option. I'd need to produce about 15-20 at a time minimum to make it worth firing up the water jet and keep prices as low as possible. Of course costs would be a little lower for bigger batches.
I don't own an S5, are there any technical drawings for it anywhere so I can get dimensions? If not, I'd need to get my hands on one.

Please DO NOT place cardboard or any flammable item on top of the Antminer. It can be a fire hazard.
What about some thin plastic like the sides. Does it get hotter on top then the sides?
[Unofficial mod] If you choose a plastic type with a Tm of 100C+ you'll be good. Alternatively you could use electrical or duct tape.
do you know what size screws i should get for the back fan?

Go to metric screws section in Lowes and I think that they are PM 4mm-0.7X45mm in length if you install 38mm fan WITH grill or 40mm in length if no grill or for a 25mm extra fan. I think that they sell 3 in a bag, which is less convenient, but cost is only $1.25/bag.
buy them for 67 cents each i got like 16 or so for 4 to 5 bucks. i forget the size or take one of the screws off the miner now to match them up that worked for me. i got the size I needed that way. at ACE sense it was the closest one to me .

You guys do realise that its next to impossible to tell whether the units where used or not.
Just because there is no dust, doesn't mean it wasn't used before.
They could of kept the miners in a filtered room without dust OR they could of just replaced the heatsinks and fans.

i think its safe to assume every one was powered up at least once.. id hope for a few days to see if everything was working ok.
plus, im betting since it takes time to make and store 1000s at a time, a few have been sitting around for weeks.. maybe a couple months..
surely there will be some dust on it.
