I still got nothing from my batch 2 chip conversion. No email no T&T code..
just got my tracking number from blackarrow woohoo
chips being sent to marto

What do you guys think:
Stacking 3 boards and powering with a DPS2K? Should have enough juice left for 2 S3 units I think.
Just gotta get coolers and a controller. And whatever stand offs will work.
Anyone have suggestions on standoff a for these boards?

Those PSU Should work fine and run on the sweet spot of >90% efficiency with only 60% load. Slightly less efficient if you added the S3s, but still ~90%.
I'm not sure on the boards hole diameter, large enough and you may get away with cheap threaded rod with lock nuts for standoffs.
failing that you could use short threaded rods with locknuts on each board and then have drilled wooden dowells (broomstick) that go in between boards. Paint them black if you have spare time b4 boards arrive
Has anyone tried these coolers out?

They're certainly less dodgy than mine
They look similar spec to those on the board reviewed by @2GOOD. His cooler fins were only ~8C above ambient (i presume at 100GH), but I think his has copper spreader on bottom.
It would be nice to find coolers at $10 or less. I need 12 of them... and I know some of you guys need MANY MANY of them.

Newegg.com has the Arctic 7 cooler on sale with a $7 dollar discount now. Limit of 5. Just picked me up some for the build.

Can but try them.
Which coolers did you go for then.
I got these, touch and go 
but I may just about get away with it:http://www.ebay.com/itm/201019894398?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I just used my ba order number as the tracking number
Is this ok to do.
Or am I going to have to place another order
Thanks

Can we put in our batch 2 orders at technobit?
I still did not get an confirmation email from BA.
We need the T&T code to complete an B2 order

Bobsag any chance you could please check how the conversions are going please 
Anyone who has X1s they want to convert- we have sent about 400 extra chips to marto, so if you wish to convert any X1s (BA or MS) there will be no wait time in the conversion, we will just let marto know to use our chips for those orders.
+2
I wonder when they should be shipping as Marto has the full board on his site shipping 5th August.

Anyone that's looking at Gekkoscience PSUs or hosting, let me know. We're shipping preorders on the DPS2K boards, hopefully will have stock of the 750W boards within a week or two, and will be able to start taking in hosting hardware this week. Everything's moving slower than I was hoping, but that's sorta how bitcoin works - the only thing ahead of schedule is difficulty increases.
I've had some people ask if we were providing controllers and coolers for hosted minion boards. I can assemble the hardware if people supply coolers and control boards with their hosted minion boards, for no extra charge, but as of yet I have no plans to stock the required parts.

I'm in there and took 200 of them..... please post. I will do the same.
I am also working on a deal for the fans... if you need them. Send me a PM.

You mean 200 boards?
80 TH WOW.I don't need fans but it sounds like a good plan for anyone who doesn't have them yet.
The ones I got only have 2 * U heatpipes, rated at 120W in enclosure, they should just be good enough, may have to lap all 48 blocks though. Already got my Shin-Etsu thermal paste.
P.S. Are you using old DELL server PSUs? They are very efficient. I'm currently converting 12 * 750W PSUs and soldering in 12V 60 AMP cables ( I can't imagine doing 200
). These PSUs stock sound like a jet turbine hair dryer but you can quieten them down alot with a mod. Jump to:
