Just curious but what temp is your room, and can you check what firmware your are running using the Easyminer from butterfly labs website.
I had issues from day one but was in the -10% range as my unit had been flashed pre delivery with 816. That having been said if you are intake temperature under 72F and it won't run 832 without throttling it sounds like you either have a lose heatsink from transport or bad QC or a dud.
Hope it helps some

Has anyone that received Singles recently gotten some of the older units with the gigantic fans on the bottom?
2 of the units I received today have the fans and one of them is throttling heavily....kind of pisses me off that they're still sending out the old revisions. Probably refurbished units instead of new ones too.

Do they have heatpipes? or the older standard heatsinks?
I didn't see heatpipes, but I will double check again when I'm home. I guess it's not really that big of a deal as long as I can get them to run at 832+/-10%....one of them is sitting at ~650Mh/s right now though and pissing me off. This is the cgminer line after ~6 hours:
BFL 2: 54.7C | 757.1/ 641.2Mh/s | A:401 R: 2 HW: 0 U: 7.75/m
The other 3 (2 of the newest rev, one with the big fan) are all averaging around 810Mh/s even though some of their temps are actually higher than this one. Doesn't make sense to me.

Seems like I struck a nerve 
Hey, I was very upset when I upgraded my dual boot Win7/Gentoo HD to a SSD, only had enough room for one, and had to choose Windooze. Well, only sorta upset because the SSD is kickass.
They're also quite a bit more pricey
There is no way to change the firmware on the singles without a windows machine? Who the hell runs windows these days?

A lot of people...
The majority, even...
Like the desktop majority, I guess linux is beyond BFL also.

Sure linux is free, but so is walking, and most people still own cars...

By the time the SC is released, he will made nearly $10k, so the upgrade will only cost him $5k. Also he has no import tax to pay and can visit the office to drop the MiniRig and pickup the SC, so he is making a killing here. HERO.
Who pays for overhead costs, such as electricity during this $10k generating-spree ? The 'Electricity Fairy' ?
Electricity cost was accounted for at $0.14/watt, as well as some fees that pools charge.
I know the electricity fairy personally.
Me too - she treats me well, but she's pretty fickle I hear.
Actually,she's quite SHOCKING

That new price is for single quantities, not for those that can negotiate. Also those chips are ancient stone-age technology now.
"ancient stone-age technology now."
maybe so but the current mini rig ($15200 for 25 GB/s -- $0.61 per M/h) repesents the best value for money mining rig today
