My order was supposed to be delivered today to my house and it still is at the original shipping location, according to the tracking page at least. Further, 4 other orders all from locations independent of each other all are delayed or the tracking information has not been updated. 

One thing to note about late deliveries is that FedEx issued a severe weather storm yesterday (12/11/13) and claimed the weather was having an adverse effect on their deliveries/routes. The warning was retracted today, therefore, hopefully delivery service will get back on the ball (not just for Fedex, but all delivery services). I suspect this is the case for most other shipping services (not to mention larger volume of mail for holiday), as many share the same hubs/roads/holidays/weather/etc.

Hopefully things return closer to the mean soon and the slow delivery services (USPS, UPS, FedEx all delayed my packages this week) will remedy the problem with alacrity. I am quite eager to toy around with some cubes.

Thanks for the quick service SSB, it is unfortunate that the weather/holidays/incompetent workers have slowed progress.
Tracking can appear to be at the original shipping location when in fact usps has shipped it and it is enroute. If the usps does not scan it along the way, the tracking does not show where it is at. Please keep me updated on when you receive it. SSB

Does anyone have experience with an EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 1300W PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011) or know if it would be able to handle 4x cubes (not powering anything else)?

I think with the cubes not OC'd, it should be fine, but after OC, it might be cutting it close, and I would hate to ruin a PSU or cube due to this. I did have 3x 60 GH/s BFL singles running on the PSU for several weeks with no problem, so I think it should be ok. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I also was wondering if these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812706033) cables would work to power the 4 cubes from the PSU (the PSU has 6x 8pin power slots for vga and 2x 8 pin power slots for cpu 1 & 2. The reason wonder is because I had used Y cables to power the BFL singles (8pin to 2x 6pin) and only used 3 cables (one per unit). This would require me to use all 8 of the 8pin slots on the PSU, but it is not powering anything else.

Further, I didn't know if it would provide any advantage by perhaps providing more power to the cubes by have more wires/outlets connected, or if it will not work or drop the performance significantly.

Thanks for any help.

Please check for any rattles when you receive cubes. Outer black case screws and inner silver heatsink screws sometimes loosen up/come off during shipment and may need retightening. Insurance is recommended for all orders in case usps loses order somehow. 95%+ of orders have been delivered by usps in the standard 2-3 day business window for priority mail. Some delays are happening I would assume due to holiday shipping. On my end, all orders are still being processed/shipped within 24 hours. Tracking numbers follow within 24 hours of shipment assuming forums stay up. If you think you need a replacement for a defective unit, let me know via pm. Any questions on how to run them/setup please ask here or in the forums.Thank you for your orders and have a great holiday/happy new year. SSB

Got my second shipment from SilentSonicBoom and it went very smoothy,
in spite of some issues I added that complicated matters.

Got my two cubes, one hashing at 38355, and the other currently at zero
since the cheap-ass PS I was using gave out after a couple of hours...

Yeah I spent over 4 hours on phone/hold between 800 number and talking to local post offices trying to figure out what they had going on with it.



Blade ordered and shipped saturday finally got here today, after the post office sorting center sent to wrong location and they sent it around and around before they finally sent it to a sorting center that got it to the local post office and then here.
Guess they haven't gotten geared up for the holiday shipping rush just yet, lol.

let hope mine is so lucky too..... after 2 hours on the phone with USPS.... they have no idea where the package is, or when /if it will ever get here.....


SSB make sure you get a refund for that shipping fee!   they have failed for sure!

It's for the children!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good PSU that can handle 2 Cubes? (I'm thinking about getting another)
Modular would be nice, but not needed. As long as it has the 4 PCI-E connections and I don't have to use Molex adapters.

I've never had an issue with my corsair AX1200's in over two years of use.

Got my Cube and hooked it up today!
Mining away @ 30.14 GH/s on LOW
(HIGH causes my power supply to turn off... guess I need more powah!)

What type of power supply are you using? Watts/brand ? also did you use the paperclip method?

I'm not in front of my system to check... But I know I don't have enough juice.
This is the PSU inside my Desktop computer which is already running another ATI 7870 video card.
If I remember correctly it is only a 500w (coolermaster? I think).
But yeah, it's only a mid-range PSU I know that and it is not dedicated to the Cube.
So, I'm confident I just need a dedicated PSU for the Cube and need to use the Paperclip method instead of sharing with a Desktop .

Do these plug into your everday PC or do you need another computer to act as a proxy? If so does anyone have detailed instructions on how to setup the proxy server? Little confused on how the router proxy and cube are connected and how you manage the cube.

Thanks

Here's a great guide:
