meh.
Rather see a shipping notification.

Thought I'd repost these here:
Not impressive at all
It seems Avalon is the only trustworthy company.
I'd love to see an update like this (Avalon) from BFL or Tom: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1381739
If true to render, this would be the first ASIC (of any kind, bitcoin related or otherwise) I've ever seen that had JTAG.
One learns throughout life. Why ASICs couldn't be tested by JTAG connector? Or have internal temperature read out at prototype boards?

Odd, to say the least...

Think you can kiss your Christmas fruitcake buh bye buddy...no sense sucking up now. 
The chip possession comments from BTCFPGA are still rather ambiguous. I don't know if they had some ES chips on hand and have just been waiting for the main shipment or what. They seem rather confident that they'll have chips when they need them and that they'll work.

Why does it say the chips will be on time? wasn't the word before that bASIC already had the chips? If this wasn't then case, then I apologize for the statements made against them on the assumption they mentioned they had chips but no PCB.
Yeah they could be prettier, but it's nice to see movement. As to the molex issue, I believe bASIC is moving toward a PCIe connector as a single molex would be pretty close to maxed current wise. This is a good choice IMO and the barrel connector is another option for powering the unit.
The design is very compact and efficient IMO, though it could obviously change significantly prior to shipping.

Just a few random thoughts when I saw these:
1st: These are their "renderings"?! I'm not good with that sort of stuff, but my brother could whip those up in an hour. They show virtually no details besides having 16 chips, 4 fans, and a DC barrel jack (I thought they were using molex?). People complained about the BFL renderings not being enough proof, but those at least looked like they were based off an actual schematic or design. I'm assuming this is because the board isn't finished?
2nd: 16 chips compared to BFLs 8. That would put them at 4.5GH/s, compared to BFL's 7.5GH/s. I wonder if more chips = lower voltage, which allows them to lower the power usage (per chip), and maybe keep them under 100W?
