The internal PSU bit on the website was a mistake. It's since been corrected. It will be an external PSU.
Any details on PSU size/voltage/etc?
1.21 Gigawatts! At 0.25V, of course.

There was talk of an 'internal PSU' for the SC single.
I hope that each SC single does not need to be plugged directly into the wall and instead will take a 12v supply.

What about the jalapeno? It's really hard to sell something that doesn't exist, if you can't even show what it will look like you know!
I'm guessing it will be about the same dimensions as every other USB coffee warmer out on the market?
And ya, it's really hard to get 5000 orders with no pictures, isn't it?

The current single is about 110x110x80 ... I will have to review that part of the website.
For the SC, that is the projected dimensions right now, but that is subject to change. I am pushing for a slightly larger, but more aesthetically pleasing outer shell at the moment.

The dimensions are going to be quite a bit different than the current single. What page are you looking at that is quoting the dimensions as being similar to the current single?
Wonderful! Getting real physical dimensions is a good start... Add in power/heat, and we'll have some useful planning data for the Bitforce SC. Getting the same for the 1TH/MaxiRig would be great.

What is the size and weight of the Single SC?
Our Single SC is: 4" x 4" x 3" (10.16 x 10.16 x 7.6 cm)

This made me assume they would use the same enclosure, but you've said elsewhere that they will use a new enclosure.
The new units will be even more aesthetically pleasing than the originals.
The updated FAQ on your website list it as almost the same dimensions as the current Single. So they won't be using the same cases?

edit: random black box - not, in fact BFL hardware
Will it require liquid hydrogen to cool the superconducting magnets, or will it use new high Tc superconductors and liquid nitrogen? It will use superconducting magnets, right? Otherwise how is it going to suspect the spinning torus? Also, what will the fusion reactor run on? I'm assuming it won't just run on garbage like the one in Back to the Future - that's clearly not possible in real life - so will it need a special fuel? We need answers to these questions now, otherwise how are we to make estimates of mining profitability?
I for one imagine it to be a hyper-cube design with a spinning torus suspended by magnets in the center.
It's powered by a magnetic resonance sender that is place between 1 and 50 feet away.
The usb connection is wireless of course.

Originals ?
So they are improved FPGAs ? Or do you already have some ASICs and are you going to improve on those ?
May I suggest BFL write out an international design competition, give participants 6 or 12 months to submit designs?

Josh was good enough to update the FAQ!
The Single was more than pretty enough. Look at the competition in comparison!
Spend that money on locknuts.
