Features:

Scalable: Multiple U3 miners can be maintained by one controller running cgminer due to its USB port.

Hassle free: Setup consists of plugging in the USB and power cables and running Antminer CGMiner.

Cool: U3s remain cool and quiet due to its 80mm fan which quietly exhausts air out the side of the case. 

Stable and Accurate: Based on the tried and tested BM1382 chip, the U3 is extremely stable and is able to run 24 hours a day without problems.

Exquisite:

The refined design of the U3 allow it to blend on any desk or shelf without standing out.


I'm 99% certain they just copied that description from the first batch and will be providing a power brick as the only power option (no PCI-E).
