I just want to know which of the delivery guys won the Rock`m Sock`m Robot tournament these units were obviously involved in
October 11, 2013, 07:13:16 PM
2 things
1) why do the two of them side by side look different? Is one the saturn
2) you'd think KNC would package them better, was there any foam / packing stuff or was the miner just thrown into the shipping box?

Here's the two girls all put back together good as new, connected up to a wireless bridge, and doing some test hashing after upgrading to .95 firmware...

Holy crap, thats some pretty rough handling.
October 11, 2013, 07:05:39 PM
The Saturn managed to keep one of of it's two fans attached...

Holy crap- through the box? And the box was not damaged?
No - the box had a hole there. I didn't take a picture - i figured people could imagine the box from the condition of the contents....

And it's pretty obvious from the state of the fans inside that it got some rough handling....

The second Jupiter got dropped somewhere along the way. It's hard to see how bad this dent in the case is because the material is so reflective, so the pictures don't show it very well. But trust me, it took one hell of a bashing to bend up and make a dent like that in the aluminum case....
This one shows it a little better, I think.

Can't you move one machine to a different circut in your house. Hate to see you loose the coins and I don't even have shares in this one 
Yes - I have an extension cord run across my apartment to a 30 amp circuit behind my washing machine. The wife is OK with that (just barely) as long as it will only be there until Tuesday morning.
And I currently testing firmware revision on my Saturn and the second Jupiter. If that all seems to run OK, I'll upgrade the one that's mining for the group buy at the moment....

Thank you so much! I can imagine the setup and the heat !

Well, like I said, she's just barely OK with that. But she won't be cooking as long as that "orange thing" is running across her living room. So I get to take her out to eat for all the meals between now and when I ship the machine down to hosting and remove the extension cord....

Yes we are mining this weekend. PSU works just fine now that it had a chance to cool off a little.
But... I won't be pointing a second machine to our BTCGuild accounts. It's going down to hosting and will run from there. Once it's running there, I'll be matching the amounts that we've mined, and doing the first payout.
The BTC payout match I'm doing makes up for only having 50% of the hardware running for this first payout period. However much we've made at 50%, I'll be matching that to give 100% payouts to everyone, and we'll have 100% hardware running from there on out.
If I point another machine at the group buy accounts right now, I'm not going to able to tell how much I need to match to bring everyone up to 100%. So, until Tuesday morning this machine will be mining for me, to make some of the coins that I'll need to pay out when I do the match. So two machines ARE running for the group buys, it's just that I'll be paying out the other machines coins to the group buy wallets once we hit 100% hardware.....

The PSU had shut down - overheat I guess. We're pulling something like 950 watts out of an 850 watt supply. This will not be a problem once it gets down to hosting, there are 1050 watt supplies waiting for them there. And firmware update 4 should fix this, or update5 or 6 - whatever. I'm waiting for a stable version where no one on the forums is complaining that it's blowing up/screwing up their machines...
My computer room breakers just kicked out. Don't have enough juice to run 2 Jupiters and a Saturn with the other stuff I'm running. I'm quite sure I can't run that other Jupiter - will get it sent on it's way to hosting at bobsag3 on Tuesday morning. Now I'm going to see if I can manage to run one Jupiter and the Saturn....
Just got a Netgear WN2500 set up as a bridge to my Belkin WiFi net. Too many boxes and not enough ports.....
More pictures later....

Redacted , what have you found about down Jupiter , what is the reason for failure , would you know ?
I heard a rumor on the R6 thread that it was the PSU being overloaded.
If that is the case & magic smoke is still inside the box , redacted has other PSU he can use so it should be a easy fix , hoping for best.
