Going to try and set this up with 10 BFL singles tonight or tomorrow.  I'll post back with results.

Well, let me know if it works for you. For me two work great, three feels like a spinning top, seems to get unresponsive after a while. When I start cgminer it sometimes hangs when starting. I am able to CTRL-C and it will quit. Restarting it and it's good for a while. It's seems that if it's over an hour or two any changes will make it "hang", like enable/disable a pool. I had three running over 48 hours, but as soon as I did something to it, bam... down like a domino. So since I had more Pi's I just put two on each. Also, the 10 port USB hub that worked great on the PC was not happy at all on the Pi. Strange... still tinkering with it though.

It's still awesome to see three little black boxes (2 BFL, 1 Pi) generating ~1.6GHash with such little power and heat. I hope it will run a Jalapeño or an SC Single.  Cool

Also, if you are looking for a great case for the Pi this one is very nice: (Have 4, work great, quality)
