I believe rev1 had the unoptimized power circuitry pcb and 2 fans,

rev2 had the newer pcb with more robust power circuitry and 2 fans,

rev3 is again a new pcb (yet to be seen I think) and heatpipe cooler with unaltered enclosure(Huh).

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that's it for the singles.  Smiley

I've just received 2 Bitforce Singles! [REV 2]

1st  device ordered @ 23 December 2011
2nd device ordered @ 2 January 2012

Delivered @ 26 March 2012

What do you mean by 'REV 2'? The first shipping units had 2 fans, I believe (one on top, one exposed on the bottom). BFL has been talking about introducing a heatpipe design but I'm not sure if those are shipping yet. I've also heard of some 'interim' design change, but I'm not aware of any details.

Does your unit have the 2 fans, the heatpipe, or something else? Could you post some photos of what you have received?
rev2 = 2 fans
rev3 = heatpipe (none shipping yet)

OK - very well -- it still doesn't take away from the awesomeness of the shirt/post

Me trolling?  Hardly...

I was talking about myself. It's the only subject I know anything about.

When it comes to trolling, I seldom disappoint. That's why I have the highest number of moderator deleted posts and piss stains from all the tears of people who lost the argument so bad that their bladders exploded through their eye holes.

Askit2, thanks for the detailed update. That makes me feel more confident, and makes me consider ordering some more Smiley

Alright I've got a new bounty.

1BTC for pictures of a REV3 unit in the wild. I want to know when these little guys finally ship.

Anyone else want this information? Feel free to add to my bounty.

I know there is a lot of guesswork going into the resounding no. My order was confirmed the 8th of march and had been sent to manufacturing prior to wednesday march 21st. Of course sonny could have lied to me but I see no reason for him to lie directly about it. I asked when it would be sent to be manufactured. It appears that (I could be wrong but) The january ones that have thus far not shipped had been redesigned to avoid the hacked on heatsink and fan and that caused their delay. For what its worth they have 3 weeks left on my order and I see no reason it should not arrive in that time frame given it is already being manufactured. The unit will per sonny's assurance have the Rev. 3 heatsink. I am not in the know about everything but from what I have heard so far there seems to be 0 reason it would not be in the 6 weeks time frame providing there isn't a catastrophy.
Hope this helps!

thanks!

i've actually placed a order for 10 of them on the agreement if they are not in by then they'll refund

reason for my concern on all this is i wont be where they are getting shipped (and i do not want them shipped where i will be) much after mid may

is there _any_ chance of getting these within the 4-6 weeks quoted on the site?
interested in purchasing quite a few
will not be at my "permanent" residence much after late april though so if shipping comes in later it'll be difficult to get setup
