Sorry. I'm confused. You found a new assembly house. But they are not in operation until the end of next week?
No assembly house that I found will start work first thing next week. The one I planed to use is out till end of next week. Sorry for confusion...

OK another update. PnP will be out of action till end of next week. Company I found today did bump us for one day. But not in direction you think... I will be there at 6:00am Monday... We start day earlier...

Will this be for all boards?

Or is it still 40 first,....................then 100 later?
Only 40 but next boards should arrive on Monday too or maybe next day... Anyway soon...

Interesting thing is that in this time I made a Avalon gen2 replacement board for gen1 without a problem... It looks to be really BFL thing...

BFL products have been designed by engineers who like to complicate things.  Everything in their products is unnecessarily complicated.
I guess BFL hires people who are just smart enough to design but stupid enough not to see simpler solutions.

There is a reason people say "German Engineering".  "French Engineering"  does not have the same implied meaning.

Avalon is a different story.  ngzhang was all for simplicity.  This was evident in his Icarus boards and then Avalon.
I bet whatever else he designs will follow the same pattern.
Good point... 300+ components on BFL board vs. 200+ on Avalon(2/3 of them are same SMD capacitors)... 8 vs 10 chips and components are much cheaper simpler easier to cool and easier to install right...

I am making 100 Nano Furies in less than a month.  We have been waiting for these things for what a month delayed now.  WTF.

Yes today they setup PnP for Chili... I was waiting there since we would do a sample board for me to test before full production... Just in case so I can test it if there is anything wrong with program(some components not put on just right). Now I'm not sure if this has something to do with BFL logo, someone karma or I don't know what... PnP broke down... I will make some calls tomorrow(I did some today but non pick up) if someone else can take us. I will also hopefully know tomorrow how long this PnP is out of action...

In what language does BFL translate to Always Late (apart from english) Angry

I hate to sound like a broken record here but do you have an update about the boards?


Edit: Plus I don't like it when this thread isn't on the first page.

If they arrive... I'm not sure they will... Aramex has setted that lost them... Now what I think happened is that they were confiscated by Air France and they need to pay a penalty for cheating that is higher then insurance to get it back... So they will not do that...

EDIT: and when they say they are lost they send them to a sender if they are found.

Update Lucko?
I give up on French boards... I have ordered 40 express made and 120 with quicker then normal speed. I should receive 40 probably tomorrow and the rest at the start of next week. Not ideal but that was max what assembly was ready to pay(it was well over 6000€)...

When the missing boards finally arrive, will you be able to sell them and offset some of the lost time we are suffering?

I have 4 coolers for sale. They're the Hyper 212 Evo, and I'll include additional parts for mounting it to the Chili board with the backplate for support. PM me with offers.
