I am not particulary happy with the fact that Bitmain decided to not build in an LCD screen.
Even more so, I just hate the fact that there is no "buzzer"
Why would they do that, it was convenient and a good thing to have. The buzzer is just important to have.
Does anyone know WHY they decided to not include an LCD and an buzzer in this model?
For the price and especially the power usage they could at least have placed(keeped) the buzzer..why did they remove it, where they did have it in the "normal" S4..?

Few things:
1) Stock moved from static to DHCP so it can't get stuck on random IPs, which was the main purpose of the LCD.
2) Its got a quick setup button for minerlink, which works similar to WPS devices on a router.
3) Almost no overclocking (overheats) and no underclocking (fixed voltage so constant W/GH). Makes reporting GH/s rather pointless.
4) The buzzer annoyed people more than anything. In small farms it was annoying, in large farms it was often difficult to locate.
5) The buzzer often wouldn't disable properly which was exceptionally annoying.
6) Did I mention the buzzer was annoying?
Maybe it will reappear in another model though.
