I'd be interested in the size of these things (I'm guessing 4U?). Looking into renting a rack and moving them into a datacenter.

Yes I think they are 4U

To me they are more like 8ru. It's like 5 avalon in a case with psu ontop of those.

They are actually 6U. I'm a bit disappointed in the power density, these take up a lot of space.

its because some genius decided to put the psus above the mining boards

I'm interested in 7 of these to run a hosted group buy.

I applaud you Beastly for, at the very least, attempting to get something out at 1Th/s that's not a pre-order gamble.
I would take one. But I would get more if your source can get the pricing closer to breakeven.
I'm in.

For the people complaining about price this is the lowest I can offer right now. If pricing is lowered I will defiantly pass it on.

I would be interested in 3-5 units if they were to go for about $5000 per unit. Current price is too high.

This price seems high. Any chance factory drops prices?

that pic sums it up quite nicely. No mining is profitable at these bitcoin prices. Nothing will make 4-5 BTC so nothing would be worth to buy for over 2500$
Yet manufacturers seek prices +5000$ to cover their design and work costs.

Sadly they still have plenty of clients with +5000$ price. I'm one of them.

With this difficulty curve going up up up nothing is worth buying in March. In 7 days.

For mining game to start again Bitcoin needs +1000$ price, while now it looks like it could hit sub 500$ before that.

On first sight it looks cheaper to buy 5x Antminer S1 and overclock them to 190GH/s or 200GH/s

Yes they will need more PSU's and will use more power (and perhaps a little more effort to set them up since it's 5 devices not 1) but in the long run... I doubt the costs for power and PSU's will be higher than the price difference with these miners.

On the other had, S1 is available now and arrives at the door within a few days.

Must add, this is mostly because the BTC value has made some drops and Bitmain accepts BTC, so that's why it's probably cheaper to buy from them.

edit:
just did some calculations, right now it's quire equal to buy 6 (yes, 6, didn't calculate overclocking as it seems more fair) S1 miners and 6 PSU's vs. 1 of these and 2 PSU's.
So I guess it's basically the same but there is a difference of about 1000watt. So in the long run, these miners are cheaper than equal speed in S1's but they're not available yet.

I still stick to my point that they're too expensive seeing it's a new generation miner, you would expect it to be cheaper than older generation hardware and not "just a tiny bit".

Interested ....will take two 2 units depending on shipping time as they are viable right now but that window is closing fast on competitive shipments.

Thank you

If people are interested please pm me or post here the rough amount of units you would like.

I'd take 1 unit if I can find someone to host it for me. (Investigating that now but open to offers.) - UK import duty is a killer.
