Could have ordered from me and saved the trouble 
Hindsight being what it is, it's too late to order a first batch through you for delivery by end of February

Hindsight being what it is, it's too late to order a first batch through you for delivery by end of February
Did order via BA website, sent wire transfer on December 11th, still no updates from BA.. opened ticket week ago, alas, no motion except it seems ticket was deleted from the system.
Overall this is very upsetting.
Overall this is very upsetting.
I'm rather unsettled with the untimeliness of their communication myself. Have been waiting for a while to resolve an order issue that is stuck in a customer service morass.
Something doesn't feel right with this operation right now
It has certainly caused a red flag to be raised based on my experiences thus far It should not take over 22 days to resolve an order.
They have a great infrastructure to take customer money quickly, but a poor one in resolving order issues in an expeditious manner based on what I've encountered so far.

Hopefully we get this resolved, but according to bobsag, he does not have the wire transfer that I sent on the 16th. Apparently there is one from the same bank for the same amount on the right day, but it has a different name on it. This is very troublesome to me as I printed off the page from the minersource website and brought it to the bank when I did the wire, and my online statements shows a transfer to them for that amount. Hopefully we get this resolved, as I said its troublesome because it is a lot of money that by the sounds of it was transferred to no where.
Hopefully this is getting looked into, I know I will be at my bank Thursday morning to get this resolved. My concern is that even though this was ordered before the date change, and I paid, I am not sure I will get the first day delivery because of this issue, which doesn't make it worth it to get these units. Still have not heard anything either way as to when that order would be shipped when it is resolved.

Any upaid pending wire orders will have their order placed in the Q based on when the order was places, as long as the wire was sent within 48 hours. So you and the other who have pending wires all are taken care of.
Does anyone know if the X3s are/will be capable of being upgraded?
I see minions are on sale, is that only for custom set ups?

"In theory the ASICs could be overclocked up to 128 Ghash/second but we cannot guarantee this until thorough testing. This would raise the speed up to 2560 Ghash/second but will increase the power dramatically which will not be supported by the supplied PSU."
Maybe BA should have an option lets say for a $100 (or whatever the cost is) more add a 1500W PS? (just an example!)
Instead of 1000W one?
Or, what are the thoughts on this?

there will be such an option for hosted units, further information on this should be released soon. had a talk with blackarrow

Well, all i can say is thank god for ebay, i just found 2 of the x-3's with earlier order earlier order numbers that hopefully i can pick up for a lot less than full retail. what a great christmas present to myself. 
Good luck with that
Keep in mind that the order number has little to do with delivery date,I could place an order today and get a number but not pay for 15 days then be put in the delivery list,others who order after me but paid sooner would be ahead of me on delivery but have higher numbers. You are betting that this is all legit,that his orders are in the Feb delivery batch and you will have a winning bid and they are already over the BA discount price. Even if this is all legit the X-3 must be going to the seller first then reshipped to you as there was no way he could know any other shipping address at the time he ordered,so you wouldn't get the units until sometime in Mar anyway. Seems like you would pay more and get them later than just going through the BA or US reseller.Are you sure about that I ordered 14th but my money still haven't cleared. So if what you are saying is true is people who sent wires when it still said 24th feb would get on the march shipment and people who paid with bitcoins later would get on the early one.
I think (and hope) you are wrong

besides this good news, could some Black Arrow official that lurks these boards answer my concerns regarding CE certification here:
Many thanks!
besides this good news, could some Black Arrow official that lurks these boards answer my concerns regarding CE certification here:
Dear Bitcoinenthusiasts and Black Arrow representives,
Could you confirm that your Prosperos are CE certified (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking)?
I'm asking this as i'm from Eu and as certainly alot of EU ppl preordered BA miners.
However electronic stuff from abroad needs the silly CE certification to pass EU customs.
I once ordered some audiohardware in China and it got held at customs and returned to manufacturer due to the lack of CE certification.
If the devices lack that CE shiznit then you can expect at least a third (lets throw in some unbacked random number) of your EU customers never receiving their devices ;_;
If you didn't think/care about CE certification, could you kindly visit some local market and buy a batch of CE stickers and slap em on the devices b4 shipping?
Many thanks an a wonderful week!
PS. Declaring the miners as gifts and adding some bogus 10$ price receipt to the parcels would speedup things too ;3

1) How much time I can mine with prospero x-3 without breaks (24/7)
2) What maximum temperature it can handle?
3) What temperature is safe for the ASIC?
I was a bit slow in reading this one, but really, WTF?2) What maximum temperature it can handle?
3) What temperature is safe for the ASIC?
Hi, can somebody, or you blackarrow answer those questions?

I have 2 pending wires at this time, as well as a few wires that came unlabeled. Otherwise, All wire orders have been updated as of this time. If yours is not showing as updated, please send me a PM with your order number, and the bank you sent from. Thanks!
Ordered through minersource.net. Sent my wire on Dec 15, still waiting for an update and response too 
What's your ticket number?
PM'd. Thanks dude.
Will look into it and get you a response ASAP.
What's your ticket number?
PM'd. Thanks dude.
Transfers have been known to take 10 days or so. You should get an update soon.
If I may ask, why order from the BA site, instead of MinerSource?
Because ordering directly from the manufacturers website, when given the option, seems the more optimal route ?
*shrugs*
What's your ticket number?
