new jersey.
long review would show two-three days of running with different speeds different pools different psu's
db sound .
kilo17 has five to offload. i will not mark up price but he is the one to determine prices.
he is in center of usa tennesse .
he wants twenty for his mine and me to help him sell off five.

yes pm sent to kilo
@ all I will get
two
then
three
total five.
I will test the two an hope that a good long review shows us
1) they work
2) they work to spec
3) they work on the older rasp pi's at least two to a rasp pi
4) this psu https://www.trcelectronics.com/ecomm/pdf/rsp1500.pdf allows me to run two at downclock undervolt
5) this psu https://www.trcelectronics.com/ecomm/pdf/hrp600.pdf allow me to run one at downclock undervolt
If all is good I will sell off 4 of them and keep one.
Then in 10 days or so rinse and repeat.
Anyone sending coins to me the gear will ship the next day.
the gear will be in stock.

Awesome! Can't wait for the results. How long does a long review go for?
Where are you based and how much are you on selling for?
Those sure are some pretty boxes! 
25 x 3.5th = 87.5th 
Those sure are some pretty boxes!
Damn!!!

My Avalon6's arrive tomorrow - I hope I can get some info to share with the community
Good I will take one for myself. Do the long review with multiple psu's. And help you in any way I can.
Yippee
Mine shipped from ZoomHash today.
does your tracking number show it was picked up, or just a label created?
Order processed waiting for pickup
ahhh...the good old ebay trick. mine shows the same.
Yep, I'm really hoping they go out by the end of the week!!

If i run two or three of these from home will I need a PDU? Or is a decent surge board enough?
Thanks toptek! I'll definitely look at a set up similar now and definitely need to read more on the mains power back home!

Thanks I can't wait to hear about your tests!
Ordered an A6 from ZH with useful info/pictures from this site: http://asicminer-shop.de/Avalon-6-35-TH-s (they posted before blockc)
1) Financial: There was about a net +$230 in favor of the A6 vs the S7. Part of the $230 pays for a new RPi setup from Spark Fun.
2) Engineering: From the pictures on the .de website, the thermal engineering looks better, one fan instead of two. The cooling fins are mechanically constrained to the hash board as opposed to using a thermally conductive glue bond. I think the glued fin approach in the S7 most likely forces the use of two fans at working at higher speeds. This is because of the worse thermal transfer characteristics of the glue bond versus a purely thermal conductive paste. The glued fin approach is a reliability concern.
The websites claim 80 chips for the A6, but from the pictures it looks like 9 chips x 8 rows = 72. 72 chips is also consistent with the hash rate, 3,500/72 = 50 Gh/s. Less chips means a lower supporting component count. This means higher reliability.
The other nice touch is the huge power supply bypass capacitor for each chip, mounted as close to the chip as possible.
What the engineering points to is the effort to engineer a good product without cutting corners.

I will do the long review with undervolt in mind.
Great. If it can get under 0.2w/gh I may still consider grabbing one.
Im still curious about the noise levels.
This might the fan it uses ?
http://www.nmbtc.com/fans/part-numbers/DC-Axial-Fans/12038RB-A1L-EL-01/28658
That would indeed be perfect. Only 42 dB.
Its a 4K rpm fan as I already said, about the same as an S7 in 30+ ambients and quieter in lower.
