I wish I had the kind of money available to say that.

If they did break it up in the way you proposed, I would imagine that the middle (controller) cube's efficiency numbers are going to be much more like they are with the S5. Right now the overhead of the BB and the FPGA are spread across all 3 cubes - but now it would be just the one. At which point, you might as well just pick up some S5's.
I think it's best either beast-mode S5+ or just plain old S5's...

What do you expect the controller's consumption to be, like 10W (ex fans)?

yeah, 0.44 vs 0.51 is a small difference anyway

Personally i'd like just individual units. The thoughts of linking them together isint bad, however... It might just become a pain if you need to separate them and the sides can't do anything without the center. So you'd have 3 unit goes down with a single point of failure. I think i'll stick to S5's for now. Hopefully this loosen some S5 that someone can sell me after they get these. (lol)
So if i could have it my way, i'd take them as a real S5+, a single unit.
Yeahhh, you wish. That single middle unit thing drain 4time the power of a S3. ^_^"

Full disclosure: Voted "Just the center piece/controller/ 2550gh/1150watts", but I wonder how the noise is like on these things.
If (dare-to-dream) these are as quiet as the S2's or S3's, I would be awfully tempted in picking up a bunch to replace all my underclocked-S3's, S5's and SP20's.

Voted option 1 as well! MMMM only if i had enough cash to get my hands on couple of thousands

just make it 2 or 3 new boards and call it s5+
that thing is not s5+.... is an s6- or something like that

Do you think the s7 will be compatible with this s5+? If the s7 is a totally diff chip and controller it might not be possible
I voted 1 time :
to be able to add an s-5+ right away or an s-7 piece later.

Okay
option 1 antminer sells it the s-5+ as is a 7700gh 3400 watts beast for 3000usd+
option 2 antminer sells the center section as stand alone with the controller about 2550gh/1150 watts
option 3 antminer sells the center section/controller with an option to addon left right pieces so 2550/5100/7700
option 4 antminer sells the center section/controller with an option to addon left right pieces of the s-7 in early oct
Fun poll since we have nothing better to do.
It also could let antminer know what we would buy more of.
I would be willing to buy a center piece and do a review of it.
Note I don't want a free one. But I would only want the center piece and controller if they would part with one. So I could review it.
