Topic: WTB: ASICminer Block Eruptor [10-13Gh/s] model (Read 2754 times)
this looks like a decent bang for buck. how much to build one?
Picked one up and it's been hashing away for about a week now. Posted photos of in in the Custom Hardware thread. Contemplated buying another one, but already have 18 populated K16's on order, so don't want to blow all my Bitcoins on this upgrade cycle 
If you do decide to buy, I have sellers lined up so pm me

I would pay that range, but I was under the assumption that I needed to send the btc directly to ASICMiner and not via an escrow.
Have no fear sending the BTC to the ASICMiner people directly. friedcat is solid.
I'm awfully tempted to pull the trigger on buying a 10GH blade myself, but part of me wants to hold out for their next-gen product.
As per friedcat. That is not going to happen before OCT.!! So its a long wait mate.!
... additionally, how no idea how to power the AM blades :| I'm terrified of stripping electrical wiring :|
It's very simple to get going. Just take an adapter you have lying around like a molex to SATA adapter, cut it in half, strip the cable back a couple millimeters, then insert the copper into the green terminal block. 2 minutes to make a little adapter then you can use any PC power supply.
Ok. Sounds easy enough. Emailed friedcat to order a single blade.
So I just connect the molex adapter to a power supply, strip two of the wires and plug it into the blade, set up Slush's Stratum proxy to point at Bitminter, and I'm ready to go, in theory ?
Don't forget you need to jumpstart your PSU with a paper clip inserted into the 24pin connector. You need to make a bridge with the clip between the green cable and a black one.

More or less. You should probably use two molex adapters to spread the load - there are 4 screw terminals on the blade's power connectors, two for +12 V and two for ground.

Plus from i've read in the manual the blades are protected against shorts and reverse pole mounting.

Xian where are you located? I set up the 300 page setup guide, I can probably help

You should expect some tweaking with the cooling and power supply to get everything right. If you're not comfortable doing this, I'd recommend buying shares instead.
