One small update from an "early user" of the Rbox (i.e. last Friday I started). I have put my old Kill-O-Watt P4400 device in to measure the power draw of the device. Right now I am running at the stock 270M speed, and getting about 32GH/s (as seen by Slush's pool). It appears to be drawing about 39 watts at the wall with a "nothing special" 12V 6A power supply. I have no idea of the efficiency of the power supply, it was just handy and I wanted to get started. I have yet to try a faster clock. I am using a Raspberry Pi, and the power draw for the RPi is NOT included in the 39 watts.
So far I have zero complaints about it's speed, power draw, it's construction, packaging , or reliability. Right now, It appears to be a roughly 100x BE100 USB Block Erupter in terms of performance. I expect the software inconvenience will get ironed out over time, and then it will be a pretty easy device to do whatever you might want with.

Thanks for your neutral comments, we are going to improve it. I suggest not running up than 290m, we tried run 40 units with one hub and R-PI, performance was good.
I would suggest having that rpi image available for download, would make several of my customers very happy.

He told me it would be uploaded later today
