Topic: Mini-Rig from Butterflylabs - page 4. (Read 21146 times)
So what are the square blocks with the circle cut out over each board? Is that going to be an additional fan over each?
The Mini Rig is now on BFL's product page; the Rig Box is gone.
This is consistent with what I was told as well via e-mail a week ago -- FWIW
Called up BFL yesterday to ask about the mini-rig. They said it will be priced at $15,400. It will be a somewhat modular design like the rig box, but they wont sell a 'bare bones model'. It will be fairly loaded as sold at the 25gh setup.
I was hoping for a cheaper, less loaded version with the ability to build it up as funds are available.

Epoch, there will be an official announcement regarding the Mini-Rig next week.
Are your announcement 'weeks' the same as your shipping 'weeks'?
You guys are like wounded elephants.
If you are serious about getting some BFL products, get your wallets out and call BFL. Their phone number is right on their site.
Never called anyone with my wallet... sorry for trolling

Elephants never forget.
I keep seeing the same dribble posted on these threads because people just think doing business any other way beside being perfect is unacceptable.
Instead of reminding everyone what we already know, I am only suggesting to pick up the phone and do your own research.
For the record, I haven't dribbled in any BFL threads. Just don't have $30K to give them, but like the $15K rig idea that isn't on their website or announced here yet. But if all it takes is a phone call that's easy enough.

Ain't gonna happen - we would all like longer warranty...
I am interested, but will be much more likely to purchase if the warranty is 1year+.
singles are delayed due to Chinese new year ... the holiday has been extended by 6 months this year

I can't comprehend how BFL has the time and resources to research, design, and launch another product when there are massive amounts of BFL Single orders that have yet to be fulfilled from several months ago. I would think the priority of the company would be to get those products in the hands of the customers that were guaranteed the product in 4-6 weeks that have spent more than 12 weeks waiting.
I know it may not mean too much to you, but this places serious doubt in the efficacy of the company. That being said I am a BFL supporter, in that I have placed a BFL Single order and I will wait patiently for what seems to be a very impactful product.

This is great news. Thank you guys for the update.
(We will hope the announcement includes rackmounting options)

This appears to be net of taxes so rates are slightly understated. US Residential Jan 2012 average is $.1143
Keep in mind that the large-scale (read: efficient) miners would have set up shop where rates are more favorable than that. And many of them would not be paying residential rates; commercial rates in industrial parks/datacenters (even if not using 240V) are more attractive.

I'm a small-scale miner; I have an inefficient setup of a few dual-GPU rigs but my electricity costs are low. If I had to pay $0.12/kWh I don't think I'd be mining today. Not with GPUs, anyway, at least not unless I put in the effort to increase my mining efficiency.
For those with high electricity costs, I think they are a good market target for BFL (for any FPGA vendor): the higher your electricity costs, the more you stand to gain from FPGAs. But that is not to say that GPU mining is going away any time soon.
