I asked for a refund. I paid in BTC on the 10th. She says I will get it once they get some more BTC.
Will see how it goes.

Probably common knowledge but don't overclock it with the PSU's that shipped with it. That would be asking for trouble

Would you be so kind as to explain how to over clock this machine?
Sure - but don't say I didn't warn you if it toasts a PSU or results in any other damage. I'm willing to experiment, but I'm not saying anyone else should. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way...
Just go to your Avalon control web interface, go to Status > Cgminer Configuration, then change "Chip Frequency" from the default 1400 MHz to some other value you feel comfortable with. I have heard some are running 1600, but all I've tried so far was 1470 (very slow hashing amidst restarts) and 1500 (which for me works fine).
Good luck with this tip purely for information's sake!
{{BTW, if you don't have that, it could be because I'm running updated firmware on the device, 20131229 firmware}}
Confirmed I to got my tracking number via DHL express. Kind of a happy camper from what I've been seeing here this is just half of the fight. Hopefully there is no problem with this machine. I will for sure keep everyone posted.
Requested a refund tonight and got my tracking number in minutes. We'll see if it updates soon or if they just printed the label. 1/7 order.
Man no answer on my video message.
No emails on status
At least some have heard something.
Roxy must have had enough....

Twib. U use his PSU or your own? One or two?
I was planning to use one PSU
I was planning to use one PSU
I have two modular 1000 W ps's in there now (coolmax 80+ bronze ZU series, so nothing special). I had two cheapo but single-rail 750s (Solid Gear Neutron series - worked fine for my cubes, blades, and chilis, but they couldn't hack overclocking) until today.
Will one larger PSU work? Does anyone know or have done it?
Just got an email back for my 1/8 order. It's on it's way to HK. Not sure if I'm happy or sad about this.
Could someone list the dimensions for the 2nd batch cases? Thank you!
Mine's 18.5 inches long x almost 15 inches tall x just under 6.5 inches wide
1/7 order here, just got my tracking number.

BTW, I'm now running mine at 1500 MHz and it seems happy, and cool even. Might try 1600 MHz later. For some reason it didn't like 1470 (+5% that I thought I'd try first) - maybe it likes jumps of 100 MHz?
Anyway, here's the rate after an hour, using my modified blade/cube monitoring scripts (I added API calls for other miners, including the avalon):
My cubes are all running high speed, but some of the pools/coins I auto-switch to are higher on the errors and rejects than others (and slower). The blades are v2s modified to run at 14+ GH/s (which they get at ghash.io or eligius). The ants are a miner running 4 ants at 2 GH/s, bf1mine is a miner running 2 red-furys with pencil mod, and beemine is a miner running 5 block erupters.

Here are some of my pics - I have the same second-round version as Pistachio.
Thanks a lot for the pictures.

Package was in pretty good shape:
The screws holding the lower blade were loose/off and the antenna was just loose in the box:
My layout for PCIe/EPS plugs on the left side: top-left EPS CPU, bottom and right PCIe
My layout for PCIe/EPS plugs on the right side (actually middle board)
Running happily using a wireless gaming adapter - didn't even mess with the onboard:

I have the same problem but my TP-LINK was broke. I have that rig hooked up using the USB and cgminer
Your connections look fine, but you really should use the 6+2 for the PCIe power. Also, I can't quite see the far right PCIe connection. If you have a real 8-pin cpu connection, vice the 4+4, that's what I used. Posting my pics from yesterday shortly.
Thanks for the suggestions. I switched to the full 8pin PCI-e and pushed in the lose ribbin as much as I can. The left clip came broken unfortunately. I still cannot figure out why the fan no longer runs and the web interface will not boot.
I think I have the connections right. Unfortunately, now neither module hashes and the fan will not turn on. Here are some pics of the main board setup.
Any ideas? You can see from the pictures the state of things after its 10,000 mile journey.

That would probably explain it. It starting to sound like BTmine is selling crap hardware. If I had more units on order with BTmine, I would be really worried right now. BTmine feel free to jump in here and offer some technical support or something. Any offer from BTMine to send a new TP-link?
Can I plug in to the USB port that normally goes to the Ethernet/wifi card? I will try hooking them up directly tomorrow. It is a real shame BTMine switched to the tiny cases that mash all of the parts together.

Earlier in the thread someone posted pictures of their larger first version miner. They removed the stock psu and replaced them. They had pictures of before and after. Both only used a 6pin PCIe. Not saying that is the right way just pointing it out.
