Nice review and pics, Dogie.
Have you done any mid/long-term testing to find out the average hardware error rate / poolside performance?
Are you going to provide screenshots from the hashing unit or is the GUI still so ugly you would rather not have anyone see it?

0a) What to Expect (top)
XBTec is jumping straight in at the deep end with a large 1.25TH unit of ASICMiner's generation 3 chips across 9 blades. Each blade plugs into a backpane
motherboard and sits upright within a 4U chassis. A Raspberry Pi is included internally as the controller. This is the V1 Pacific 1250, and a V2 is due very soon with a number of improvements built in.
0b) What You Need (top)
You will need a few accessories to get started.

1) Powering (top)
Pacific 1250s come with a custom made 1600W PSU in an unusual formfactor, although they can be replaced with an external PSU. You will require 5 PCI-E
cables and a micro USB power cable for the included Raspberry Pi.
2) Cooling (top)
Three 120mm Fan-Cooling FD12038BD1 fans are used to drive air through the unit, and are manually controlled at two speed settings. Three red switches at
the back of the unit bump the fan speeds from 50% to 100% for high ambient applications. The rear of each module features a full cover, aluminium heatsink.
Noise levels are extremely reasonable at 50%, while 100% fans are loud. It should be noted that no consumer should ever need the 100% mode as it is
designed for farm use only.
3) Case (top)
The Pacific 1250's case is extremely thick steel and almost impervious to damage, although at the same time is very heavy. The case is designed to be rack
mountable in a 19" wide rack (482.6mm), or stacked vertically. External dimensions of the case are 550 x 430 x 176mm.
4) Configuration (top)
Configuration is relatively straight forward, although this is a very early alpha consumer build so some steps may change.
Wiring:
Configuration:
Antpool Register!
BTCGuild Register!
GHash IO Register!
5) Troubleshooting (top)
TBD as problems arise.

4) Configuration (top)
Configuration is relatively straight forward, although this is a very early alpha consumer build so some steps may change.
Wiring:
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the Pacific 1250 to you router.
- Plug in a power cable from the mains to the PSU. The unit will automatically power on.
Configuration:
- Navigate to your router and find the list of devices.
- Using a browser, navigate to the IP assigned to the Pacific 1250 by your router.
- Login using "Pi" as the username and "raspberyy" as the password.
- Navigate to "Pools", and click "Add New". Enter Your miner information in the below format click save.
- Click "switch" to your new pool, and "remove" to any other default pool.
- Navigate to "Dashboard" to check mining has started.
Antpool Register!
