Confirmed.. cannot complete order due to drop down not showing a shipping method.
edit, its a bug on the site.. if you choose alternate shipping address. then go back to your original one you can choose and complete order.

I just started an order, but the checkout page will not show a shipping method, or price. so I did not complete the order.

if they dont release a miner that is more efficient and half the cost.. its not going to be worth buying.
Ha!! Don't get your hopes up on the bolded part, I think it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.I'm expecting to see the S7 somewhere around 0.4w/gh efficiency. If they keep the same PCB layout and number of chips I'd figure they'd be hitting around 1.35-1.4TH/s for about the same power draw, basically just upping the efficiency by 20%. I expect the price to be over $400 when released, just like the S5 was when it was first released.
If they don't beat those numbers by a larger margin, I honestly don't see mass sales. Anyone with >0.7w/gh and expensive power I could see them pulling the trigger and doing an upgrade, but I really can't see many with S5's feeling the need to immediately upgrade, even those with not great power costs. Those with free or cheap power it doesn't make much sense to upgrade anything newer than an S4 I would think (unless the price is, as you hoped, halved).
I Hope the S7 is Quiet like the Avalon 4.1s
i can barely hear my s3s.. i think they screwed up on the s5. the BM1384 has so much potential. if they took the time to engineer something for it, it could have been twice as efficient and probably just as quiet as the s3.
i hope someone finds a way to undervolt them and get them to run at .3/ghs like they said they could, the chart is still on the first page even.
I absolutely agree with the S5 could have been quieter, and that the S3 was perfectly fine for home use. Playing devil's advocate, power density did nearly double in the S5 compared to the S3 which would explain a portion of it.

had anyone tried to order s5? i cannot select the shippment box.
I know they are not currently shipping because of the Dragon Boat Festival but I don't know if that has anything to do with the functionality of the site.
"Generally, shipping out within 48 hours after full payment. We'll have Dragon Boat Festival from June 20~22, the last shipping date before holiday will be June 19 and resume on June 23rd after we come back."

with what im seeing in the gekkoscience bm1384 thread the s5 could have been made almost twice as efficient, had they have tried harder...
perhaps they are doing that.

What I'm seeing is that both my Ebay purchased used S3 and Bitmain purchased S5 work fine. I have to pay attention to operating temps (changed the S5 fan setup and under-clocked for PS comfort, living space temp and stability). The S5 is more particular, but it's a good miner! Interested in the upcoming details of the S7!

Just ordered 20 antminer s5 and two of them are dead when i plug them on
The second one looks like an unhappy board (try on different PSU, then swap its port on a controller to see if we can coax life into it) but the first one looks like an unhappy controller/PSU. That is evidence by BOTH boards being unstable (very unlikely naturally) and that the fan is going at 3k without any temp indication. You can try connecting the hashing boards on another controller if you lay 2x S5s on their sides and get the cables to reach.
I will test this tomorow morning.
In this morning i more had failed.
I saw the images you sent to support. What PSUs are you using, and can you try a more stable pool than betarigs.com please?

It has arrived 
Unfortunately doesn't have the mini heatsinks that some other user got :-(
The side panels are fine to leave them the way they are right?

Yes it would be suggested to have on panels to direct wind.

What's going on?
? Bitmain raised prices on the S5 to $360+shipping?
i think the price increase may be because they added heatsinks to the other side of the hashboard on the newer S5's. if you look in this thread:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1072176.0;all? Bitmain raised prices on the S5 to $360+shipping?Vorta states that one of his came with the heatsinks already on it.
that is where this image
came from. i am curious if this actually came from bitmain. if it did; that would explain the price increase.

To do so I've:
- Repasted the miner with a much better termal paste,
- Added mini heatsinks on the external side of the hashboards with adhesive termal paste (to the first miner only, as second came with them),
- Closed the miner's heatsink with 3D printed plates so no air can run out on the top or bottom sides,
- Added fan ducts between fans and miners which direct most of the air through the main heatsink and blow just a little bit of air to external heatsinks, just to drive some airflow on the sides.
Im going to email bitmain an see if they come with the heatsinks now.

Hello sir,
there was short batch or miners with heatsinks on a side.
not sure if factory will continue with that option.
best regards,
