Sound about right, they were 0.3BTC~ then. They seem about 0.25BTC~ now. So fairly good on retaining their value when you consider people are trying to sell small batches of S1's for 5$ a piece.
5$ for S1, where ?
It was a guy dumping all this S1s and S2, the S1 lot for 11 was 90$ or so, the S2's were 100$ each. Would be nice face to face but if you ship them, then not so much.
Yeah, shipping = deal killer
Yes, indeed. Otherwise i would of taken the S1 lot i think. I'm thinking of building a rack of S1 with no fans and use those to replace my electric heating for the winter in my room.
They would be completely silent and cover the heating cost of my room for winter.
I think they would required a fan. My modded S1 cards (at 0.9-1w/gh) was getting too hot without one
At 40watt per heatsink, i think passive cooling from the heatsink will be enough. I ran one at 140GH 1.1w/gh without a fan for 1 hour at low ambient temp and it was running at around 60c. I would think clocking it at 90gh at 0.9w/gh would be fine, but we'll see. If i can keep the fan going at 800-1000rpm i might leave it on, too, since it would be quieter than my quiet PC.
