I find it strange to advertise products, that don't exist. you can think of it as a very aggressive marketingstrategy, but it isn't honest.
moreover it's funny they show even a picture of the rigbox. the thing on the picture is smaller than a PSU for 2500W.
but the most striking aspect is: why should the rigbox have a better performance in terms of hash/W?
they would need to use different chips. why not use these for the single?
it's just not credible.
I would be very astonished, if a rigbox with these specs sees the light.

So...Anybody have a rig box order in place? It looks like a sweet machine, no?
I have cancelled my order when I was asked to pay the remainder of almost $20k on Feb 24, after I had already made down payment of $5k (for which I have already received a refund). Delivery time was said to be "a comfortable 8-10 weeks", so we should see something happening at around end of April or beginning of May. On the other hand, I understand that there is no prototype so things could turn out to take much longer than that.
The price went up to $28,980 (in that email), so for a difference of $4k or even $5k I was not willing to take the risk and pay for a product that may or may not see the light of day, or at least not with the promised specs. Honestly, I expect them to run into a few problems but if it shows up and works as expected, the rig box is back on the table.
Goat said he knows somebody who placed an order for 2 rig boxes, but I guess that's what they call hearsay. Not sure if his contact actually paid the remainder.
Even if they didn't get any pre-paid orders for the Rig Box, they should have earned some money with the singles and should be able to produce at least one or two.
Agreed.

lol they are probably getting ready to delete it because of all the off topic stuff (sorry) 
Hmmm, for some reason moderators moved all FPGA topics into subforum, except BFL thread, but moved "BFL scam" thread nontheless. I smell skunk here...
"not the nose!"
lol a-team rules! (and by that I mean the original 80s tv show of course)
Anybody with a Bitforce Single feel like trading for a 7970 and a few BTC? PM me.
Ohhh, now that is tempting. Must weigh it over for a while. 
tempting really? shit they cost about the same amount of money I will buy you a brand new 7970 if you want to trade lol
The 7970 I have is brand new in an unopened box. I would also be willing to throw in some BTC. If someone were interested...
Yeah but is yours autographed by Dirk Benedict ?
Uber! I would actually like "Howling Mad-dog" Murdock to build a rig for me.

Dude, I remember using a fucking tape for the first time. Rocking it old school.
I remember having to replace ENIAC's vacuum tubes. :3

Yeah, I do... I threw up a little in my mouth, but I was in public, so I had to swallow it. It was gross.
Agreed. I got a Droid4 last week, but I have to wait for a sim card to come from Verizon in the mail, so I've been using an iPhone 4S in the meantime. I hate it so much...
