With an external PSU and flying molex connectors I doubt that many "colo" datacenters will be happy to host it.

It's also quite big, a 42 units rack will get quickly filled Sad

I was thinking this as well. It certainly does not look as "rack friendly" as they were originally claiming, especially if the PSU is not housed within the unit.

Well, there is a solution for the lack of design to fit in a rack:

Due power usage, 6 per rack is "max/recommended" anyway. So its not a problem.

Power usage has nothing to do with how much you can fit in a rack. Thermal, on the other hand, does (which, yes, is related to power, but certainly when you spec out what you can fit in a rack, you do not go and check the wattage on everything). Most data centers can give you whatever you need for amperage/voltage, as long as you are willing to pay.

Without intending to sound too negative, I'm sure things are going great for these guys, but that is a bit of an underwhelming update isn't it? Reminds me of TerraHash's July 5th update. It does look like a good, solid case mind you - wouldn't want to get hit over the head with one of them!

It's amazing how there's always beef, and dissatisfaction, no matter the update. Two days ago they were;

"a scam, words mean nothing, pictures are worth a thousand words", and; "we want case pics!!"

Now, and without warning, pictures of casing, received by a mix of 'hurrah', and 'grumble, grumble...'.

Thought I might get a bit of a cold response to that Wink

. Seriously, no offence to these guys, I guess I'm just excited to see what they can produce. Like a little kid at Christmas I'm just impatient to see what Father Christmas has put under the tree and I can't help feeling that I've just been told that it's not time to get up yet Grin

.

BTW - for the record, I've never called KnC a scam or asked for case pics. Although you're right that many people have, so this should be just what they are after right?

Noob question here but knc said there would be an RJ45 connector on the case to presumable connect directly to your router. I assumed the machine would connect directly to a computer (which is connected wirelessly to a router in my case) via usb where you would then set up cgminer to connect to whatever pool you were on.
Can someone explain exactly how these new fangled Asic machines are set up?

I expect a web interface similar to a router.

Early on (June 3rd) I asked about ssh access to my hosted jupiters. Sam replied:

"Yes ssh access would be allowed inside our hosting environment we will announce more details in the coming weeks via a news letter"

So maybe there's a shell involved too.

I am glad that there is an update. knc will try to stick to its targets and I sure hope they will succeed.
However, with the current difficulty increases of 30-35% every 10 days for at least a few months (before the field levels) any hope for profits (even marginal ones) is overoptimistic.

I think the fans are 8cm, so guess 10-12cm for the heat sink, work off that. Looks standard ATX sizing to me.

Only KNC really knows. Judging by the hand print on the right case, I'd say about 18"x24".
That's 46X61cm for you metric werdos Tongue
