12x Avalon?  So I'm assuming you're running this at a Data center not at home then right? How's the noise level on it?  I'm anxiously waiting on mine which is coming on Thursday.  If it works out well, I'm going to get at least 1 more.  I'm enjoying the free heat in the Garage but I think it can only handle 1 Avalon in there plus 1 or 2 Antminers max since it's only 15Amp.  Trying to find another outlet location where noise isn't an issue, perhaps laundry room.   

A 10 gauge extension cord is okay to use.

and use the 20% coupon.  you can run 2 avalon 6 if you have a 20amp circuit 120 volt.

Just so you know adding more circuits in the garage isn't that difficult, at least for me. I added 2 240v 30 amp circuits and 1 20 amp 120v in addition to existing 20 amp circuit for less than $400. But I still can't mine at home profitably because of high tiered electricity rate. I sent most of miners to a hosting place except for a couple of Titans. My 10.85 KWh solar system offsets their electricity usage to a manageable level. I don't know the exact figure yet, I will know when summer comes.

Droid,

How do you like the Avalon so far?  How is the noise and heat level?  Is the system staying relatively cool or does it run quite hot if ambient room temperature is around 73-75?

I would highly recommend Oregonminers. Tom @ Oregon sent me a complimentary USB to miner cable after seeing my post here, even though I bought the miner from a different seller, which didn't include the cable with RPi kit. I wasn't able to run the miner for 3 days after receipt until I got the cable from Oregonminers. I believe they sell it directly by phone or pm.

I remember that it was also Thanksgiving weekend when they did that.  I have not dealt with them but I thought that sounded pretty darn nice of him.

He was doing a good dead for sure.   Like seeing resellers more like that.

I got my 5 avalons from them and couldn't be happier.  He even texted me when the new firmware hit the website giving me a heads up

If you are in North America what is the current price for these Avalon's? $1500 + Shipping ?

they sold out at ehash




they are 1449 at zoomhash plus shipping plus a rasp pi
http://zoomhash.com/collections/bitcoin-asics/products/avalon-6-3-65-ths-shipping-from-stock-in-us



they are 13900 for a ten pack at block-c
http://www.blockc.co/collections/bitcoin-miners-shop-avalon-blockc-co

If your in china I would email them still at Ehash.   And I could be wrong but I think website might be a little off it shows even adapters as sold out, which I don't think they ran out.   But if China that is best not sure MOQ with not having stock on site, but does not hurt to ask.

For most of the world it's BlockC and MOQ is 10.  So a groupbuy might be cheapest way as far as most people.

But there are re-sellers zoomhash as Phil mentioned.   OregonMines.com sold a few to a person or two in the thread.  Any other resellers other Avalon6 users are using and have successfully bought one or more at?
Scott at holybitcoin.com has them listed ( I know it's the wrong pic but he is a reliable reseller), and I am sure you can contact him if you have any questions.  He carries some of sidehacks compacs and had the 4.1 a few months back as well.

He's a tad high on it might by why we have not seen people mention buying from him.  I don't like how he put regular price at "1,999.97 " and acts like "1,599.97" is a price cut.   He could be good but that makes it where I would go elsewhere.
Yea I guess so.  Here is a thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-instock-bitcoin-mining-hardware-accepting-paypal-584597 with a 5% discount for bitcointalk users, and just missed a 10% off black Friday I didn't even see.

So what are the chances of Bitmain or Avalon lowering their prices of these miners anytime soon?

Hard to say BTC is headed up again 389 right now.  It's hard to go to them on a price decrease when BTC is rising like it is.   We will see what happens on difficulty over next few periods.  It's kinda those two things that effect the price as much as anything.

I mined at 230 for a long time and was profitable so I'm pretty darn happy right now as far as price per BTC.

Looking forward to the extensive review especially in Dual miner mode with same controller.  How many miners do you have in your Mining area?  Thanks for letting me know about the Avalon 6 needing each own PCI-E cable instead of sharing the dual connector.  I got the issue sorted with the Ebay seller, he's going to send me a better power supply cable and 1 more PCI-E cable.  I will just use this used EVGA G2 power supply for the Ant Miner.  The new Avalon will get a new EVGA G2 power supply so I can have better peace of mind.

Not a problem!  I'm glad to hear seller is making it right.  I did use a EVGA 1300 again it works very well at staying pretty steady at 12 volts input.  So far they did a great job just like the 4.1's it was plug and play.   I did not have to do any configuration just plug it in.  I went ahead and used USB to both, but I could have ran power to the shelf and did the chain.  

But so far working great no issues adding one to make it two mining.  As far as my miner area I have 100 amp just for it.  It was made for more a work area but I repurposed it into area for mining. Currently have around 8K watts but I'm adding more slowly.  I did have a good amount more... but I sold during 230 day's of BTC as I was not making enough but now wish I would have kept them.  I got rid of my A1's a 1T dragon, and 1.5T dragon.  And then 3 S4's also got sold.  

They all went to lower priced electricity miners.   I sell my miners at end of life for me and it really does help with extra ROI.  I do plan on using these Avalon 6's for a long while.  I still have my 4.1's running great to.

Got to add part two to miner review I have been wanting to do. It is dealing with running multiple Avalon 6 Miners.   So far both are working very good, but I still will run them and test them over time.

I did move them to my mining area.   With dealing with 2 miners it just made it much easier then in my bedroom.
