For some reason this thought does not register, but it is a bit silly to immediately adjust the dollar price to any movement in BTC/$ ratio.
Why not price it in BTC, then?
Agreed. That was the original thought process behind these bitcoin companies. It used to be fun thinking you were getting a deal because the price was set in bitcoin, and $/btc went higher. Hard the believe the companies that gain the most from bitcoin won't use it as the currency.

bitmain again increased the price of S5.
maybe they should price them in BTC if thay want to track BTC price ?

Was going to pick up a few more with the cupons. I will hold off.
The forum went down and bitcoin.info went down so i waited. oh well.
Whats the point? New gen stuff in a few months anyway. the move to increase price just made up my mind to hold till next gen. Thanks Bitmain you made my wife a happy Lady.

It would take something big to get me to give my money to BITMAIN when they raise the price on existing tech.
Well, someone must be buying them, demand?
Or does he know people will pay whatever price hangs?
Increase price, wrong direction for my money.

I am wondering if Bitmain has the price of the miner tied to BTC AND difficulty as well. With difficulty going back down and BTC going up, the life span of profitability has been extended so they feel the miner is worth more?
Of coarse there in it only to fill the greedy pockets!!!! Remember there is two sides to the coin or should I say BITCOIN!!
Another thing they raise the price faster than what they drop it!!!

No...they feel that they could take more PROFIT at the current BTC rise...from their customers...

Seems we are all in the same boat. But I agree to vote with your money... if I don't buy another its not the end of the world for me.
BTC price heading into better territories. Anyone want to make any bets Bitmain raises the USD price on the S5's again in the next 48 hours ?

To be fair, they didn't raise the prices. They removed the discount, though I have to say I wish they added more discount instead of removing them.
Edit: Will definitely make buying much easier with more discounts especially with the price swing. No idea whether it's going up or down...

I could host 2 more S5 in my office, but i need an almost silent fan solution.
Noctua produces ~56-58dB at one foot away when on PWM at 2500rpm, run at 337.5 Mhz/1100GH.
Scythe ultra kaze is ~60db at one foot away when powered by molex (no PWM).
one miner in office with Noctua is probably OK (bearable, especially if it is cold and it drops to 2200-2400 rpm), but NOT with scythe at 3000 rpm-sound is too annoying, but Scythe is OK in a room few tens of feet away. These are all actual readings, NOT some theoretical dB announcements from companies that are usually incorrect, as I found out.
If anybody had good results with a truly >=40dB fan-I am all ears. As an example-did anybody successfully tried Cooler master jetflo (2000rpm, 36dB, 95CFM)
I did not try delta because it is a good fan, but definitely more loud then those I already have.
