So one needs both things below:
http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=51

and

http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45

in order to get the whole system going.

You need two of the radiator kits, or one of the large kit.  But, the case doesn't seem to list the needed extra length cables yet.

Would it be possible to add waterblocks to the current S5 case?  Are the attachment points the same?  If I just removed the rear fan, could I just add waterblocks to the boards?  Knowing I have to disassemble all, but could it fit and keep the controller card on the top?

No. Because there is no housing. There are only two pieces of plastic and the two ends, exactly the same as in S3

If I just removed the rear fan

You will still need a fan with water cooling. A quieter one hopefully.

Oops, forgot it only comes with a front fan, was mixing it up with the S3 in front of me.  So, will the water blocks fit with the screws that hold them in place on the S5?

Hopefully they'll offer a kit with the big radiator also, as that would require less chance of leaks and less setup than using 2 or 4 smaller radiators, plus in warm locations I don't see how 2 of those little radiators are going to help remove 2400w of heat.
Two radiators that SC-BC1 watercooling kit includes are enough with each radiator installed 6 fans.SC-BC2 kit uses a big radiator,and noise is a little bigger,if you don't mind you could choose this kit.

We can assemble it by our selves, but  will the final price be worth it?!?!?!

Waiting for bitmain to post prices on the kit(4blades, 1controler&bbb board and the rest)
We set the price after comparing.It will save you money,whether you bought air-cooled S5 or complete water-cooled S5.

The problem with kits is they require more work than miners! A full miner has to be built [heatsinks, case, fan etc] to quality test the hashing boards - the same as a normal unit. But they then have to be disassembled and cleaned in order to be sold as board only kits. That's time consuming = more expensive / not as cost efficient as one might imagine.
That's one way of doing it, but it's pretty inefficient.
Building a test jig to cycle through boards would be relatively trivial and quite cheap though. For something like the S5 boards you just need a flat heatsink on the bottom with some pin guides to align the boards. Slide the board in, attach a PCIe connector and the data cable, and push a button. A small air piston pushes the top plate down which provides pressure to the back of each chip, barcode scanner logs the serial number and the attached controller runs a known test data set that allows you to characterize and record the true error rate.

Test jigs are pretty standard in electronics manufacturing, and something simple like this that doesn't require fancy network connected instruments could be made for a few hundred bucks each if you build a dozen or so. Build twenty and a few workers could pump out 1000 boards in a 12 hour shift.

This would be a lot more attractive if Bitmain would ship bare boards.

You will also need the cables, screws  and springs.
Screws and springs are easy enough to source, though they could include them. I would envision the cables being included in a kit consisting of a BBB, the controller board, four hashing boards and the needed cables. It's nonsensical to purchase the aircooling heatsinks, fans, extra controller and plastic bits just to ship all that weight across the world and then strip it down and throw it away. Tongue

Exactly.But if users could assemble by self and make no mistake,it will save a lot.

If that is like a 2*c1 side by side, why not make 3*c1 side by side, also 1*c1 but with s5 blades, c2?!

Also: it should be only 1 controller for al boards
         use 14cm fans! not the screaming 12cm from s5
Bitmain works on developing miners,and we work on how to modify miners to provide better experience .;)If you want to assemble "C2",we might some day show it to you!
The fan is 120mm,1 controller could just support 4 hash boards.

Just to confirm, that's not an 'official' / rumour of an 'official' C2. Its just Syscooling's kit's name.
Cheesy Its not Syscooling's name,just copy from smart man's idea.

What other components are you providing to cool the roughly ~2KW? Same as C1 kit?
C1 kit is OK,but both sides of radiator need to be installed fans.1 C1 kit could support 4 hash boards,the whole miner need two kits.

How about water distributors?  These are not included in this ANT BC1 mining cooling kit . http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45

EDIT. Got it. What is needed is a set of two ANT BC1 mining cooling kit.
Include two distributors of this type.

Need two BC1 kits and 6 extra fans.

When are you expecting to have this for sale and when will you have an answer for the longer cables?
You could purchase appropriate cables from Bitmain,2 are about 10cm(default length),6 are 16cm.
Right now I just post a thread here to show you about it,and take advice from you genius men,not long it will appear at Syscooling online shop.

In a modified S5,you need to purchase 8 boards,2 controllers,screws,and cables of appropriate length(about 17cm,when sure I will post here).

How about some kit for ant s4?
How do you know we are testing S4 modified kits? Grin Not long,don't be hurry.
