What do you mean by S3 upgrades, like the S1/S3 upgrade kits?

Will those who opted for L1 refunds in full bitcoin receive them soon? Will place an order if I get the refund.
If you're ordering S5s from L1 refunds, why don't you choose option 3 and have the value refunded in a greater value S5 coupon?
Doesn't work that way. I'm still waiting for L1 coupons. It's not rocket surgery, they should process all pending coupons before putting any more batches on sale, otherwise it's starting to smell of bait&switch. I should have taken my refund and my business to raskul's signature
I'll see if I can hurry along the coupons, although I'm sure I have yours swapped out for BTC if that's what you want?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a PSU for this new S5?
Corsair CX 750M (it has 4 PCIe=2 brachched, which is OK) for each or EVGA 1300 G2 for two (it says 6 PCI-E on some tech specs, but actually has 8 because two are branched, so 4 singles and 2 branched (=4) 4+4=8 PCIE connectors.

I think this will do with no overclocking

for safety, i would get the 750w version.

Still no answer on this one
BITMAIN, how often do you update the bitcoin/usd price on your site? current price is 334-335, and your ticker is stuck at 328. for a large order, that makes a hefty difference. i placed an order, and i didn't realize your bitcoin price ticker was not being updated... 
Checking.
it's should deserve not "checking" but a major hurry.
Everyone who is ordering at prices listed on the website is losing $12-13/miner (the btc price difference between "real" and "bitmains" btc price is up to almost $9-10 or ~3% right now). They will have to either cancel all orders that were erroneously priced or issue massive refunds if this continues unabated.
Its 4AM on China, I'm trying!

Congrats to Bitmain for staying ahead of the curve on the S5. Looks like a great machine. It won't ROI so I'm going to pass right now. But give them kudos for sticking with the home miner market. Very impressive.

Just wanted to throw my experience in here. I have purchased many tens of thousands of dollars of mining equipment from Bitmain, as well as other sellers, and have had my share of problems with each in one form or another. But, in all of my experiences, I have never had the level of customer support that I have encountered while working with Bitmain. Whether that be at the company level (sending in service tickets/support) or at the forum level (Dogie's help with issues here and there). I have been very happy with all of my purchases from Bitmain and continue to achieve positive ROI on every single unit I buy from them. The experience that took the cake was last weekend when their American Service Group helped me with my problem throughout the weekend and ultimately made me the happiest I have ever been being a bitcoin miner customer.
In conclusion, you can compare other companies all you want and promises and guarantees, Bitmain has come through and delivered for me time and time again. I am currently trying to convince my parents and family to open up some power space for me at their place as I want to buy 6 or 7 of these S5's right off the bat, and need some place to put them.

Warning: Just received PM from Author named "BITMAINE". Seems very suspicious and has -6 trust rating. If this is truly a BitMain account, please verify.
Thanks, that guy is persistent. Forwarded to tomato as well.
If in the future you want to check if someone is a BITMAIN account (apart from me), check BITMAIN's signature.

Shipping, still a rip off, is half of what the S3's STILL are. Bitmain, bust out the plasma cutter and lop the tops off those S3's to knock down the weight!
S3 shipping weight 6.2kg
S5 shipping weight 3.5kg
S3 shipping weight 6.2kg
S5 shipping weight 3.5kg
In other news, EMS is back!

now, first batch of S5 sold out in 12 hours. good luck to you guys.
Nope, not sold out.
Let me put it to you: BMT are unsure about the stability of the S5 and they have only sold a few to test RMA requests.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they can beat SP-Tech 1 (one) voluntary RMA in Thousands...
dude, you are really working hard here, I hope you get your free sample of sp20.
I don't accept free units, all of my miners are paid for. thanks for your concern.
then you are really stupid if you are doing it for free.
Have you not seen his GIANT affiliate link banner for ST? He's one of their biggest affiliates - he doesn't need the free units, only to continually post and disparage in competitor's threads.
