Wow! They actually exist! Might grab one as well if the price is right. I love to have a little less barebone design than many other miners.
What are the usb ports for? Is it possible to daisy chain them? Or something else?

Congrats nexus.
Appears to be well built from the exterior at least. You planning to do any internal shots?

This. I assume the propero x3 will look like this but bigger case, more fans. Was there a delay getting the LCDs?

The watts and volts meter doesn't look to be functional either. Voltage would be cool to see.
Looks like the DHCP option is not working right now, you will need to set a static for now.
That is what I am seeing too. Set DHCP on and it did not grab an address. With a static things started working.

Now that is doing something! Edits above.

No dice on those combinations.

This is what the straight IP address screen looks like while hashing:
Some initial thoughts:
Its very nice just plugging in a power cord and Ethernet and being done.
At ~100 GH/s the box isn't a speed demon. In February it would have been OUTSTANDING but now its a little "eh".
I haven't gotten up the guts to plug this into 240v yet. Tomorrow.... yes, I'll get 1 night of 100 GH/S mining and then I'll see if I can fry it.

Alright, using the new details from MinerSource I see this screen:
After using the user / blackarrow credentials I see:
Alright, so this box is really very interesting from an IP/management point of view.
It looks like there is a controller that grabs a DHCP IP. But then the miner is a separate entity that gets its own IP and is managed form the controller.
So:
https://dhcp_ip gets you to the management console
and
https://dhcp_ip/LCD gets you to the miner console
I popped into the miner console and set a pool address but got no action.
I then set a static IP in the miner console and got no action... but the changes were being reflected in the management console.
I then pulled the power to see what a reboot would do... and voila! A new green flashing LED inside the box and what looks like hashrate.

Kids are in bed... so now its time to fire this box up. There are no instructions included so I am going to wing it.
Seems like power and Ethernet are good places to start with. I have DHCP running so it should grab an IP if it can. This is what it looks like with Ethernet:
And plugging the power in. It took at least a second for the lights to come on and the fan to start spinning. That was an awkward second of thinking "is it dead?".
Green light on the PSU. Standard green and amber Ethernet lights. A blue LED and 3 amber LEDs inside the box. The fan spins quietly. You can hear it... but it is very quiet.
I checked my router and sure enough, a new device had grabbed an IP from DHCP. I opened the IP in Internet Explorer and this is the GUI that pops up:
I think you can all see the problem here.
As mentioned before there are no instructions so I am going to see if I can crack this username/password. But its probably not possible with Yubikey 2 factor being requested. Maybe that's not functional though. Lets see if I can work magic...
Edit - Now that I think about it... it would be silly to have 2FA activated out of the box...

Hello yes, I'd like one mining please.
Wait, so the X-1 doesn't come with a power cord like the one pictured here?
What is that power cord called, and how would the LCD plug into the main controller board?

Its commonly referred to as a "Mickey Mouse" cord.
What is that power cord called
IEC60320/C5 - but your best bet is to just walk into a store (or browse a website) and look for it visually, or google for exactly what nexus called it: "mickey mouse'.I do wonder why they chose to use that connector, rather than ubiquitously available (for PSUs) /C13, but it's not entirely uncommon; There's at least 3 within arm's reach right here (2 for laptops, 1 for a rather beefy brick power supply for a storage system).
Glad you found a power cord. It will take 240- Saw them running at their office off China 220 and we tested at our facility on 208.
So you've started shipping? I thought they arrived today?
We have the ability to re ship same day, and a few people got local pickups/ shipments today, with more to follow.
