liked, wanted! but wtf are 8 rj45 ports doing in there!?!?!!?
I believe they're for connections to a single controller module.

Great new Gear!

If there is a friendly neighborhood forum moderator who could kindly remove my posting restrictions I would most appreciate it.
Thank you,

ask hardware moderators (three on the top of the page) in a PM - I am sure that they will accommodate you as it is a special case (new company).

Looks nice so far. What price range are you looking to sell these at?
Way too many RJ45 to praise it yet. I'm not a big fan of 1U since all the fans in the PSUs will be little and noisy for a front-to-back air flow.
Even water-cooled, the PSUs cover most of the back area, so it won't be too much air flow that way either .. we will see.

From Previous thread:
Only if you're not designed for it. We've got a 48U rack running 73.5 kW at our datacenter on pure air cooling with no trouble. It has 15 SP35s and 7 SP30/SP31s. The idea that you have to go to water cooling in order to achieve high densities is both expensive and false.
You are correct. It's not that we couldn't do a max density air cooled solution. Spondoolies already does this. It's that our architecture is designed to be upgradeable. Some design concessions had to be made.
Water cooling also opens up the hottest parts of the world to mining. We can easily handle 40c+ ambient air temps. And have tested to 70c exiting water temps if so desired for industrial waste heat usage. Higher temps may be possible. With a serial power design this will easily be achievable.

Can you outline where/how the radiators fit into the setup? I imagine they are external, so is the unit really a 1U unit or is it 1U plus radiator?
Also could you outline what your expected performance output will be per unit? An idea of price would be good too
As suggested already, best to open up a new thread with your details/announcement.
From our chats with datacenter owners, the over 3KW of heat that the SP35 puts out often is too much.

I didn't think SP was producing anymore ASICs and I assumed they weren't producing any more of their semiconductor chips also. That's why I am surprised this company came up.
So is this a new manufacteurer who is building ASICs but instead of developing their own chips they get it sourced from SP
At least for the model at hand - yes. It's not that strange - that (systems integrators using manufacturer's chips) used to be the status quo Are you going to be at the conference in Austin this weekend?
Yes:We will be at the Texas Bitcoin Conference. http://texasbitcoinconference.com/conferences/austin2015#sponsors
Nifty, looking forward to seeing this in person!
Interesting formfactor. Is there any pictures of the current block and loop design? What type of PSUs are those, do they have air cooling? Does that air cooling extend over the PCBs?
Wow looks very interesting.
New to this so have some questions.
So water cooled would require me to have some sort of equipment to support this? Or it will come with everything needed to be up and running out of the box? Or will you offer or provide information on what should be used?
So at 4THs would be about 2040 watts and so is that with all boards installed or some combination?
Not to put you on the spot but do you have any approx. price range for the first board and chassis with the controller module and for board 2-4?
Also, what time frame before you begin shipping?
As with all new people we ask to many questions.

Looks very nice would love to know more about it. Especially price.
Exciting. When will you finalize the tech descriptions, price, etc?
Did you license the SPT software as well or will you have your own gui?

Would love to see their next chip in this form factor. 
Reserved for future.
Copying this over from the Spondoolies thread. I will add more info here as it becomes available.

Nathan provided the following info:
Water cooled. One long heatsink resides below the 4 modules. Making for easy replacement of modules.
Efficiency, Not quite as good as some of the best numbers we have seen on the SP20 but we have more tweaking to do. Our next rev board (in case Serial power doesn’t work) will have some more power improvements. We hope to gain an additional 4% DC-DC efficiency at max current.
.69w/GHs @ 6THs
.57w/GHs @ 5THs
.51w/GHs @ 4THs
Measured at wall @ 240v
Management traffic goes out the RJ45 jacks on the front.
We will be integrating the board level management data with the ASIC data shortly. This will allow us to power 24 cards(6 chassis) off of one management card.
This system is basically equivalent to 4 SP20 systems in one 1U tray.
