I have a bunch of these on order and want to make sure I have all the right stuff to get them to run...
I noticed on BA website that they will come with their own power supply, so I do not have to worry about that apart from a power strip or two.
I have been looking and found this switch to plug them all into...

Will the 24 port version of that be good for these?  I should be able to plug and play correct?  Also does anyone know how I would make or obtain a wireless switch?  I would prefer to not have to set these up near my router, and a wireless switch or a way to make that wireless easily would be great!
Also, I assume they do not, but does anyone know if these come with Ethernet cables?  If I am going to order a switch I would like to just get everything at once.  Any Ethernet cable should work correct?

Thanks to any answers or help in advance!

You don't really need a gigabit switch, 100Mbps would be just fine. The switch is unmanaged, so it should just be plug and play. The cables you will need are ethernet patch cables.
Also you should consider power usage when shopping for a power strip. You might not be able to run more than 1 or 2 on a single circuit.

The 24 port switch is for expansion purposes in the future.  But by the sounds of your comments it should be fine.  I am unsure what Ethernet patch cables are, time for some google research, lol.

The X-1's only use 50 watts of power so I should be able to get a bunch of them per single circuit, unless I am missing something?
You'll be fine with X-1's. I wasn't sure if you were running X-3's or X-1's.

Thats more switch than you need... most of my hosting is powered from Dell 8 port 10/100 fibre switches, but thats because ebay is cheap.

Hi Bobsag,

I placed an order for 2 X-3s yesterday at BA.com/store, but I don't have a payment address yet for my BTC.  We'll see if they get back to me.  If not, should I just cancel the order and place it through you?  What is the deal with the 50% down split?  Is it over?  Does that have to be directly done through BA?

Thanks for the help!

I started my order on Blackarrow, I was going to wire transfer from the US. If I am reading the above posts correctly I can not do this?

If I can not, what do I need to do to move my order to minesource?

Leave the BA order and simply file one with MS, Bob can fix it for ya.

Your not in queue until you pay.

he said he sent the wire/paid,so he's stuck with BA unless they will return the wire and then reorder with MS.....imo

ooops wrong guy.. my bad Undecided

We're on track for Feb, absolutely.

As for the specifics of batch 1, we're figuring out exactly where we stand and how much more room we have. We're going to have more detailed information in the next 24-48 hours when we hear back from our engineers. I'm sorry I don't have the answers yet.

I ordered two X-3s, order number 2801. I sent bank wire. Hoping that i am in batch 1 Cheesy

Hey     bobsag3

Based on the PM i sent you should i just re order ? Just trying to get an answer as its already been 10 days from when i messaged for my order (Which now has canceled its self probably because i never got a response) and nobody from your company or you have responded yet to me, and the phone number listed for your site on the black arrow site does not work. Please help i need to decided if i am buying this after all or not or what is even going on in my order. I also had a little scare when u said batch 1 was sold out, i honestly felt a little cheated for a moment due to not being helped and having my order terminated involuntarily.

I have asked Black Arrow to update the reseller page with the new contact information, no idea why they have not done so yet.
Can you email me @ mininghosting@gmail with your old order number, and I will look into it.

Site is back up- made some backend updates and rolled out the theme.


You may want to check the dates on the new site it refers to orders placed Dec/12/ 2012 should it not be 2013 Wink


"We've just updated Miner Source to accept automatic bitcoin payments! Until we finish importing completed orders, you can view your order status for orders placed before December 12, 2012 on the previous platform."

Good catch, Forwarded on to the web guys.

A lot of people have wired from the U.S. (not I) but it takes BA several days for them to clear the payment and change the order status,all the transfer info is on the BA site and would be sent to your inbox a soon as you submit the order. You could just cancel or abandon the BA order as it will be deleted automatically if you don't pay and update the ticket in 7 days. To order with minersource you need to wait a bit until they get the site fixed up,they seem to working on it now and they do accept wire transfers but you may need to email Bobsag3 for the info.

Hi Matt,

I originally was directing the post to 'BlackArrow Matt' (thanks for answering anyway), but I have 2 orders placed with BAS orders #154x (24/11/13) and #168x (25/11/13) and would like to change from BTC payment to bank wire payment.  What would be the best method to contact BAS in regards to completing payment of my original 2 orders.  If it's through Skype, what is their Skype name?  Is it 'blackarrowsoftware'? 
BTW, I have open tickets (over 7 days ago) and emailed them with no replies yet.

thanks,
merv77

That is there skype info.
I will take a look at your tickets and get them updated.

Hi Matt,

would you require name and/or my exact order numbers to take a look at my tickets?

I will PM you my order numbers if that helps.

Thanks again for your outstanding support and keeping us up to date.
you're a true gentleman.

Cheers
merv77
