 It looks like a superexpensive dust collector.

It really is an expensive gold-dust collector...

Granted these are MR and NOT SC...

More fans on it than Sonny told me...

Also looks like they have it loaded with more than 17 units for sure (17 x 1.5 - 25.5 Gh/s)

Do you run expensive servers and things in a dusty environment? Shame on you.

And then the U.S. Government buys all the SC Chips and does a 51% attack, bringing Bitcoin to it's knees.  Grin

I bet they don't ship in any reasonable quantity until 2013.  I'm watching and waiting for OpenASIC - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-openbitasic-the-open-source-bitcoin-asic-initiative-76351 - with it being opensource hardware its more likely to be cheaper and therefore more widely available and used.

I agree on this possibility, and am watching it closely. Knowing the slow to ship history of BFL, if their pricing seems overly expensive, it would seem tempting to wait & see what the openware option provides.

agreement.

I can't wait for the 15th. We'll see where the lines are drawn on Bets Of Bitcoin as to what people think on their ability to meet hashrate, power and delivery targets.

Nah, just typical BFL.  They pop in and update when they want, being as vague as they want, ignoring as many questions as they want.  Meanwhile, the fan club continues to make excuses for them and berate those that haven't drank the koolaid.

You couldn't've said that better!

anybody got shipping notice email today?

Since it seems they are a small operation, I'd expect any, if any, shipping notices to be sent out literally after they are ALL shipped. So, probably at close of business...or even after hours. If the operations was larger and they had the staff to track it real time, I guess they could send out notices concurrnet to actual shipping events. Just my guesses on it.

Was that wrong? I didn't hear of anyone getting confirmations of shipments sent out later in the day/early evening.

im pretty sure if you shipped them without the case everyone would be happy... and when u get the cases, ship them out later...

makes sense to me, especially with miners already running gpu rigs without cases, open rigs...

This would most likely create liability problems with warranties and added shipping costs.
