Thanks for this guide, and for all the fellow miner inputs here!
What is the start.bat code for mining with the Eligius pool?

I have used them pluged into a Raspberry PI running with Minera Soft.
You can easy change the configs and all rbox infos like speed, server and temps are visible.
Give it a try!
To make it more silent: I had replaced the original fans with some 20db silent fans from sharkoon. So I could let them running 24/7 under my bed

I have been running this for 2 years straight.. and it is still going!!
Does it report temp when using BFGMiner? I can only find on screenshot of BFGMiner running it and it does report temperature in that one. But maybe you can confirm this. Do you have to include any additional commands in the bat file to get it to be recognized by BFGMiner?

I am going to pick one of these up off eBay (I know they are way out of date). But I wanted to know a few things first:
- Do they have Variable Speed fans that run faster/slower depending on temperature?
- Are they Plug-and-Play with BFGMiner on Windows 7?
- What temperature do they typically run at?
- What is the HW Error percentage? My Butterfly Labs 60 GHz has about 0.60% HW Errors.
- How loud are they compared to a Butterfly Labs 60 Ghz ASIC?
Fixed
Yes
1% maybe, all are around th esame.
No idea

That's great thanks Duke. I'll see what I can find
Sorry but I haven't any photo and can't remember correct 
Should be 70mm fans from sharkoon 21db, miner temperatur between 50-54° in an ambient of 20° (https://www.amazon.de/Sharkoon-System-Fan-70X70X15mm-Geh%C3%A4usel%C3%BCfter/dp/B000EIV63I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465744234&sr=8-2&keywords=70mm+sharkoon)
Fans spinning on constant speed, no PWM possible

Funny you should say about the fans I was wondering about them. I see they are connected to a 3pin terminal it only use 2pins (+/-) is the third pin for pwm signals?
Have you got a link for fans? What temps are you getting (with ambient temp taken into account)?

Just like the antrun duke, I'm only in it for the fun of it. Going to see how far I can push the little rboxs for histories sake as I haven't read how high anyone has had them running stably 
Never had much luck trying to overclock these miners! But tuned with some silent sharkoon fans you can put them in your bedroom for mining. The sound is like an air condition
Not bad! I sold my last 2 Boxes for 45 Eur/unit + 39Eur for a Corsair CX600M 2 month ago
The time for this little ones are looong over except you use them for BOINC

I have 2 I would be willing to sell one if you want to PM me US only shipping cost outside the US is to high
Should've followed up to my last post. I got three rboxs and a corsair cx600m off eBay for 55gbp which was a steal. Thanks for the offer though

Anyone got any working ones they want to get rid of?
Just received a pair of new Rockminers today. These things are rock solid. Best hobby miners I have had the privilege to tinker with.
Tell me, would anyone know how to wire up an old Block Eruptor to one of these, and get it running? im hoping i could just pull the "mud" chip off and throw a few wires up (some single strand core, cat5 cable should do) and directly connect it to the atmega..
What do you mean by wire up a BE to the R-Box?
using the old BE as a USB to UART (eg: USB ->Silabs chip -> tx/rx -> atmega on the nr-b)

Given proximity to the AtMega and the typical 3x2 layout, I'd imagine that's the ISP port; http://www.atmel.com/images/doc0943.pdf
Wouldn't really do you much good unless you wanted to flash new firmware to that chip.

i suspect that you are highly right. looking into this chip, the pins 30/31 look like rx/tx pins, so i could solder something up to them, but 1st i may have to de-solder the dead silabs CP2102 and look for the rx/tx pins to it. may look for continuity between them pins.
it just peeves me off that this is the 3rd product ive owned that does not have protection (eg: usb data bus fuses) between the usb and the uart chip..
im going to hunt out some wiring, solder and a 4x1 pin joby, and attempt this tonight, been a little to busy last few days to attempt it.
Whilst im at it, think its worth getting one of them silabs usb-uart converter (plug, pins and chip on a black pcb) off ebay for $1.50? just to rip off the chip and solder it into place?
Well, attempted to wire up the UART out off the micro-controller and remove the cp2102 chip, and guess what, the second miner crapped out its cp2102. so 2 dead miners, all i have left mining is 0GH/s. Its been fun guys, but now im out of the game
