Updated.
Icarus Batch3 shipped out 220 boards.
plus previous 2 batches, there are about 260 total.

How about links in the OP to the board threads.
Done. Also, updated some figures.
Sad, but true. I wish I could get some bulk discount on Icarus ;)
There are already great bulk discounts on Icarus :)

shut the fuck up you poor retard
bfl single does 800 mhs and costs the same
goddamned worthless neanderthal
bfl single does 800 mhs and costs the same

order 1 for 599 USD .
wait up to 4 months.
that means, 4 months mining @ 820MH can generate 60 BTCs. about 300 USD.
so this equal to you spent 900+ USD on it...

Oh, this thread will probably be a little cleaner from now. Regarding the BFL single - I think it only uses twice the w/MH traditional FPGAs use. Wasn't it ~80 Wh for ~800 MH? Icarus and x6500 use 40 Wh for that amount of hashing.
I meant four times the power per board (for twice the hashes per board).

I might correct that it's ~85W for 832MH/s. Of course, the board itself consumes 71-72W, but the inefficiency of the PSU
takes up to ~85W. One could use a central PSU for multiple singles, with a higher efficiency...
All the best,
Yup, but for me passive cooling computing means so much more than MH/s... silence to hear yourself think! I have 1GH/s and that draws 40W with ZTEX.

Angry neighborhood bastard mod here.
I suggest you never piss off an apex predator.
nobody cares about power usage, that is way too cheap
Someday you too will care ... when you move out of mom's basement.

Why would anyone buy FPGA miners then?
The reasons are simple:
There are regions on this planet where electricity costs like $0.30/kWh, and running GPUs is just not profitable any more. And it won't be long until the BFL isn't either.
There are often limits on how much power you can actually draw or how much heat you can actually remove at a given place, so sometimes this might be the only option to further expand your hashing power, even if you have cheap electricity.
If you account for the power you need for air conditioning, FPGAs overtake GPU profitability at way lower electricity rates than you'd think.

WTF? $580 for400 mhs? That's nuts!
You're late to the party, a troll, and annoying. Go ask your mom if dinner is ready.

Obviously not, since he sold out of 2 batches already. If you don't understand why it makes sense, then you don't need to worry about it and you can go on your way.
