A few questions:
1. You say that you because the power supply can support 4 units, you will sell the boards also without power supply. What is the price without power supply?
2. I was trying to play a little on the site to see the shipping price, and when i am trying to put more than 1 unit in the shopping cart i get an error: "The number of products in the inventory is not enough for your order. " and the quantity is not updated.

looks good. sadly the payment options are hard. i'd wish paypal were an option. from chile its kinda hard to pay otherwise.
I'm completely new to mining, so a couple of questions:
- What else would I need to mine with this? Do I just need a computer with USB connector or will I need anything else?
- When ordering multiple devices, will each of them need its own USB connector on my computer? Or can I link the devides somehow?
- How long would shipping to Europe take?
Thanks.

The official price today on an Avalon ASIC is 11250 USD and you cannot get it (no stock). There are few Avalon ASIC on ebay for $30000 or more.
At $38000 we can match the hashing power of the Avalon using these devices and we do not have limited stock! You should bare in mind that FPGA can be reprogrammed to do something else therefore they will always have a sale value, while the ASIC cannot do anything else than hashing.

Using these boards, we are able to provide the same hashing power of ASIC (66Mhash) with 173 devices.
We can supply 173 devices for 38000USD. The highest cost for us in manufacturing these boards are the FPGA IC but we might be able to negotiate a better price with our Xillinx IC supplier based on high quantity and will report the savings back to you.
I know that they are not as money or power efficient as the ASIC but here are our advantages:
1. they are in stock and can start hashing tomorrow. if you wait 3 more months for an ASIC, you're not hashing therefore loosing money
2. the ROI is 100% in 2-3 months therefore is quite a good deal. no bank will give you this interest.
3. the FPGA IC are programmable and you can use them for something else too.
4. today, this is the most efficient and accessible bitcoin hashing technology that you can get
5. we do accept bank transfers therefore you have a guarantee that you'll receive your goods (you know who we are, where to find us and can even pick up your devices directly from our office).
6. We price our devices in USD. The price won't vary with the bitcoin value which always goes up therefore making the goods more expensive (what happened with Avalon ASIC)

Fan is included. At the moment is quite big and we're looking into how improve this.
The default firmware is running at 200mhz. We've tried the v42b firmware but it's just reporting faster speeds and doing less work.
The power consumption is 30Watt / device.

They are without fans? Fanless operation is possible without overheating and HW errors?
What's their power draw at current hashrate and default firmware?

As one power supply is quite heavy and can power up to 4 boards, we think it is best to sell it separately in order to give the customer the choice to opt out if he/she doesn't need it.

Hello everybody!
My company, Black Arrow Software, has just started manufacturing Lancelot FPGAs ( 380Mh/sec - 400Mh/sec ).
We are using the most performant (3N) Xilinx ICs.
The Lancelot device was developed by ngzhang. Details in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fpga-development-board-lancelot-accept-bitsteam-developers-orders-79835
If there is anybody wants to purchase them please let me know. They are in stock and ready to ship.
You can purchase it from our reseller's website: http://www.cardreaderfactory.com/shop/lancelot.html
Price: $350 / pcs. Includes power supply and cooler. Discounts available for more than 10 pcs.
Shipping price depends on the destination.
Payment: We accept Bitcoin (at today's mtgox's rate), Western Union and Bank Transfer.
Shipping: We are based in Shenzhen, local pickup available. We can also ship worldwide with DHL, UPS and EMS.
Regards!
