That looks very nice yohan!
Would I be able to do a similar thing with a ~120W "wall wart" power brick adapter instead of PCI-e?

I would not recommend it as the 2.5mm jack is only rated to 5A which is enough for one board but not 2 running full load.
Meanwhile first sight of the power jumper allowing a PCIE power cable to power 2 boards in a simple fashion. This is also showing the lower profile heatsink configuration.

If those pins are interconnected as well, I think I just may wet myself a little. ;p

I just LOVE all the little Easter eggs that keep showing up with these things. Even little things like a green light on nonce found. A lot of effort went into this, more than people realize.
That is friggin awesome, Yohan. I had not realized that the power pins were interconnected like that. friggin love it!
Hopefully some more on the programmer later. Meanwhile first sight of the power jumper allowing a PCIE power cable to power 2 boards in a simple fashion. This is also showing the lower profile heatsink configuration.
Side blow stacking pillar is also now available.

After flashing FPGA 0 successfully and about 20 tries trying to flash FPGA 3 followed by an INSTRUCTION_CAPTURE error each time, I decided to leave it and get some rest.
It's worth noting that that board is one of the early boards (serial number 4 I believe).
My newer board (with a later serial number, which i'm assuming means it has a more recent firmware for the controller) flashed straight away as per the instructions, so I'm thinking we need to update the array controller firmware?
Also I couldn't get the SPI flashed with either board.
Looking forward to some updates when they're available Yohan.
Thanks

No problem doing that as far I am concerned. If it makes it easier I am all for it.
We will try and do a sweep through the issues later and see if we can improve things.
My unit is down to 100Mh/s after 10 hours from 380Mh/s. The orange led is now on on the two fpga's and only from time to time it's turn off and the green led turn on after a while.
I will try to turn off the unit and reprogramm it.

When I go to mount the USB drive in VirtualBox and use the command:
mount -t auto /dev/sdb /mnt
it returns:
mount: you must specify the file system type.
Not a linux guy so I'm sure this is supremely noobish.

Pipesnake,
it should be
mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt
which means mount the first partition of your device sdb.
then a
ls -l /mnt
should show you the content of your device (usb key).

Type: cp /mnt/*.bit .

You left out the period at the end.Type: cp /mnt/*.bit .

(According to your post.)
And I have no idea if the previous steps in the guide have actually left you in the correct "current directory".
That command can be read as:
cp

Whoa! Disappearing posts. Now I have replied to a post which doesn't exist.
Ugh wtf. Now when I go to copy the files:
cp /mnt/*.bit
it says
cp: target /mnt/xc6lx150.bit is not a directory. (no shit)
Can't believe copying a few freaking files is so damn complicated.
cp /mnt/*.bit
it says
cp: target /mnt/xc6lx150.bit is not a directory. (no shit)
Can't believe copying a few freaking files is so damn complicated.
cp *.bit /mnt/ for copy *.bit to the /mnt/ directory.
cp takes a from and to location. You only specified one. (First arg is the source, second the destination.)
Also, recommend leaving out the period.
I.e.,
cp /mnt/*bit

Also, if you are new to UNIX / linux, you will want to use the "man" command a lot.

Plug in your usb, then type dmesg, then make sure its not sdb1 instad of sdb.
It seems to be faster and you now get a green light when it finds a nonce!
that sounds awesome as a techie I love watching lights blink
yohan will be organizing payment tonight.
Okay tried again, even copied the bitstreams a second time into the virtual box. If I really restart cgminer repeatedly hard, it sometime finds the "test share" on sp6#0 with a green light and cgminer itself goes into "hash"mode for one fpga delivering work. red flashes, yellow turns off and on really quick and stays on, until next red flash of work. I guess sometimes it just hashes long enough to find that test share.

Currently I have the switches set to the default way they were shipped to me. SW 1 and 6 all ON. SW2 all on, SW3 1off, 234 on, SW4 1off ,234 on, SW5 all ON.
I'm starting to think its my USB ports ill try a different windows pc tomorrow I suppose.

Im getting and error before I can get to programming, when I select the USB device I get this error . I also cant seem to mine anymore in windows, causes a blue screen after a couple tries, It was working. Works fine in Debian.
