Phil, some questions:

1. 4GB RAM enough? I know 8GB RAM is just nice, 16GB maybe overkill in a miner rig. Did you have to setup 16GB minimum for windows virtual file, as required by Claymore to run his miners?

2. Pandaminer paint and finish seems nice from pix -- good sturdy build? At a glance from your pix the miner is quite small.

3. From boot up -- could you see any BIOS opening screens, ie. American Megatrends, Panda? etc. Have you tried all the possible keys to enter BIOS?

4. The small "on/off" switch is tiny as per pix but I think like it this way to prevent any accidental reboots or shutdown. Did you have any specific reasons to have the button larger?

5. In a multi-panda farm format; with some clearance on top and below, do you reckon that can easily rack the miners vertically? PSUs on top of rack?

6. What is Crimson drivers that was installed in the miner? Have you tried upgrading to 16.11.4? Compatible with W10 Enterprise?

7. Have your tried running Nicehash Windows Miner? sgminer-gm? wolf XMR miner?

Thanks

1. I was worried that 4gb ram could have issues so I upgrade to 8gb stick.

The mobo only has 1 slot and it is laptop sized ram. Ddr3l. Only goes to 8gb

2. The case is fairly sturdy and uses only Phillips screws.

3. It does show a screen American mega trends then the win 10 sign in reads pandaminer but there is a script that signs you in to the normal screen where you can enter a mining folder.

4. The small button needs a tool to press a clumsy person could press it hard and break it.
It could be bypassed if you break it.

6 do not know AMD drivers

7 so far clay 91 and clay 93 and eth 7.6

I need to fully build clay 93 on a second pc. Then put it,on a USB stick then move the stick to the pandaminer and it works that way.

Since I am not the best software guy I won't push until I have a working clone of the oem msata.

then If I brick the clone I still have the oem.
