@bobsag3, Things are moving along nicely! Thanks for providing this service Smiley

I realise you are mad busy organising the group buy at the moment, so I'll just mention it here...

I would like to push my spare 4 chips onto @y_boonstra.

Is this possible and how/when should I do this?

I have have the chips for anyone's order at BA converted and sent to me/marto regardless of original destination.

First 400 Chips arrived today, will be sending off to marto for the first 400 chips worth of conversions. I should have my 3 test boards back from him next week it looks like.

he said that in the opening chap.

5. When your miners are assembled, you will have the option of having it shipped from us here in the US, or shipped direct from marto at your cost either way. From marto will be much cheaper for EU, from us will be cheaper for US.

yes but my original address at BA is not in EU and I am asking whether it can be changed to some country in EU..If that is not a problem,I am in too..bobsag pls confirm this..

Seems likely Marto would have no problem shipping it wherever the heck you wanted, so long as you paid the charge.

Bobsag I want to accept your proposal but you need tot tell me could I change the destination of shipping those boars..I am asking this because it is the only profitable way for me to ship from marto to my friends address in EU?is it possible because this is crucial for my decision..?

For anyone looking to do a water cooling solution I have for sale a 480 quad radiator and stand. I have listed it in the marketplace.  Smiley

Didn't mean to copy, must've overlooked that one. My setup would be a bit different anyway; I've got a 15x25" car radiator refitted to take 1/2" hose barbs and a pair of 2300CFM 12V fans that should be good for clearing at least 6KW, should be able to stick it right in a window and blow heat outside. The whole radiator/fan/fittings setup cost about $120. In the unlikely event that I'm able to get in on this deal.

Gonna be watching this thread, in case I can magically afford it in the next two days. Gonna depend on what my pool does to be able to fund it, but turning two X1 into 1.2TH would be pretty cool. Should be able to scrounge up some cheap waterblocks and tie into a big watercooling loop too! Exciting!

BTW. I need you to call me as I plan to run this off your PSU's. Dells be a rocking this farm so far, I see no reason to change.

 Do you feel 2 will handle 3 boards? I do, as I have seen them pull 8's and 9's... your input is needed.

If they're looking at pulling no more than 400W per board, you could get away with two boards per PSU but three per two PSU load-balanced would be both safer and more efficient (as each supply would be operating closer to its peak point). Hate to be a shameless plug but we (the guys that make the Dell PSU boards minersource sells) should be started moving DPS-2000BB boards in about three weeks, which can source about 2500W reliably but require 200-240VAC input. There's a preorder group buy https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/price-reduced-dps-2000bb-2000w-server-psu-interface-board-637595 in case anyone's interested.

We will probably end up trying a watercooled system using PC parts due to the socket size... should at least look cool!

Are there are quad head water coolers out there? That might be interesting.

Would go with 4 individual blocks, linked 2x2 is seriers to 2x 240 Rads.

Blocks: 4x http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16395/ex-blc-1153/Alphacool_NexXxos_XP_Light_CPU_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Acetal_Edition_-_Intel_AMD_12153.html?tl=g30c325s1118

Rads: 2x http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14327/ex-rad-315/XSPC_EX240_Dual_120mm_Low_Profile_Split_Fin_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s160

I know its expensive and highly impractical.. dont care.
Plus you can pay in BTC

The question is how much could these completed (or just populated board) miners be sold for, in say six weeks?

I'm gonna say $300 a piece, without coolers or PSU. Does this seem about right?

Yes, probably around that ballpark figure.

Building up and configuring full tested plug-n-play miners with instructions may yield +ve ROI.

Bobsag, what will be done with any leftover chips?  Say I have 100 chips, 48 go on boards and 48 pay for it, that leaves 4 chips.  I assume we can pay to have those mounted but if we don't will they get shipped back or maybe used to offset some other cost...

Also, will you be able to get some of Marto's TP-link controllers in stock to go with these?

Seems like it would make sense to set-up default 'packages' for each BA product.  For Example, Each X3 can be exchanged for 12 boards shipped with 2 TP-links.  Choose that default option or send bare chips and pay all other costs separately...  just my 2 satoshis.

Heres the plan. Should keep it simple, give everyone including marto plenty of time, and get things going ASAP.

First Batch of this will go off like this:

1. You must PM me your Order Number [BA/MS] Email used to place the order, units ordered, total chips , Exchange Chips for assembly cost [Yes/No] (you must do all one or another, will be too much to keep up otherwise)

2. The Above must be done by Thursday Night 8PM Mountain Time USA

3. We will get all of the submitted orders converted to chips by BA, and shipped to us first thing Friday morning. Chips will arrive to us Monday/Tuesday, be counted for accuracy, and reshipped to marto via DHL Express.

4. By Wednesday, you will need to have paid for your assembly, either by electing to use chips, or by paying the assembly value of 164EUR (Includes our 20% discount) in BTC to an address, so that we can pay marto as a group for the order.

5. When your miners are assembled, you will have the option of having it shipped from us here in the US, or shipped direct from marto at your cost either way. From marto will be much cheaper for EU, from us will be cheaper for US.

Please keep the PMs to me to just the requested information, I dont want to miss any ones order. If you have any questions, please ask it here.

We will be offering discounted PSUs and Coolers as we get a little bit closer.

 I already requested 200 sent to him. If it faster to be sent to you than me, so be it. I requested this earlier on in another thread, and went to the bank and got the $15k needed to fund this. Pleas get me out first thing Matt. $ is here and waiting.

 BTW. I need you to call me as I plan to run this off your PSU's. Dells be a rocking this farm so far, I see no reason to change.

 Do you feel 2 will handle 3 boards? I do, as I have seen them pull 8's and 9's... your input is needed.
