if only that panda motherboard is for sale somewhere....

That would be sweet.

What cards would you use with it tho? No risers right?

No risers needed -- I would use a full card RX470 on an open cage rig design.

Run Linux like smOS on a usb3 thumdrive or msata ssd.

Many possibilities here for GPUs since its full 16x slot with nice spacing in between cards for airflow.

*** UPDATE ***
They sent me a new bios right away and I am testing it to make sure it is more stable. Then I will post it.
Confirmed it's a little better rom here is the link it is zipped with the rom and instructions direct from panda in them. There is no virus attached but if you don't trust me then don't download it. http://zeus.iron-vault.com/bct/pandab3bios.zip

*** WARNING ***

The shipped bios on the first shipment of pandas to me and heliox seem unstable. Out of 20 i was getting about 5-7 crash within hours of being turned on. With heliox bios they have been running for 24 hours no crashes. I think panda is coming out with a release or they already addressed it and new ones have it. They will send it to me and I will post it on this review for a link to download. Sorry can not post heliox bios as that is his and he is not free Tongue

well he is a little slutty, but not totally. Cool

Their response they sent me a bios I will add a link in a few on page 1. Kudos for addressing it fast

Thanks for this update -- I wonder if there will be more B3+ available for order at a future date or if they are going to change the design again.

I do like this new design a lot better than the B1, Even with the loss of Density the B1 had, its a pretty clean setup.

im testing on the 1300 EVGA Gold because 120V watt meter but I actually use their great wall 1600 240V only units

at a meter away it is 70db

then it is a bit softer most likely a better pitch

I could of swore they sounded quieter but numbers dont lie... It's more of a deep hum and not a squeal though

230 ETH at this Wattage. Heliox is working on mods and i'll post or he will as they come available.

the proper distance to measure is 1 meter..

I would think it is 75db which means it is as loud as the older model b1 but a deeper pitch.

With fans at 3600rpm it is a farm model not a tv den model.

1181 watts for 230 eth was close to the b1 model

what is the psu?

79db is quieter than my damn A4's but more noisy than my 7 GPU rigs

REAL FREAKIN BUMMER
DAMN sucks we cant put a full size card in it Sad

http://zeus.iron-vault.com/bct/bummer.JPG

Looking at these photos, its shorter width wise than the B1 -- 19.5" Wide x 6.5" High x 11" Deep

Someone would have to build a custom case or make an open air frame to turn one of these into a system that will support regular cards. I see that happening with these long term as people replace GPU's. The question will be how well the board is built and how long it will last.
