Oh man I missed the release of this!
I see everyone still doesn't take into account when you buy something like this u tend to be REPLACING other equipment.
So to me $2100 is a steal, the equipment I sell I will get back around $1000.
no 220volt so I guess its EVGA 1600watt for $320 another costs to add on.
And selling off that other equipment drops the electricity used by so much for me. insane. ugh can't believe I missed this!
where are more! lol
Hope these don't fry like usual first batches.
Some folks here think that we are buying S7s with PSUs outright like them. But most people who are buying S9s are replacing their S7s effectively reducing S9 price to $1000 -$1200. Those S7s were in service since September 2015 and already paid themselves off.
There is no such thing as 'reducing the price'. You still have to give Bitmain more BTC than the S9 will return. Whether you purchase that BTC outright or sell off old mining gear you still send the same amount of BTC to Bitmain. The price is the price and it's higher than the return. You'd still do better to sell your S7s and hold the coin they make rather than buying an S9. BTC in > BTC out -> makes a sucker.
People will jump through whatever hoops they have to to keep from admitting a bad deal...

The EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2?? Does it have 9 PCI-e connectors?? Will it be able to power an S9?
I believe they have 13 PCI-e. Maybe 8 6+2-pin and (5) 6-pin. Something like that. I've tested an S7 Batch 7 on an extra one I had in the office and it pushed it just fine. The voltage variation is probably quite a bit more than comparable server PSUs though.
