First off, I just said I'd make one with 16nm chips. Second, spamming me isn't going to get anything done any faster. I have the chips, just we're not yet able to make them work. It doesn't help that the guy doing the hardware and the guy doing the software are two time zones apart. As soon as we figure out the last bits to talking to the chips we'll be in business. But since I've been working on designing and redesigning this pod, and manufacturing over a thousand 2Pacs, and doing everything else around here, I'm a shade behind on ironing out the remaining kinks for Bitfury communication. But believe me, once that hurdle is leapt we'll be in business. THEN we can work on getting Bitfury's attention, which shouldn't be much of a problem since they've sworn up and down I'll be able to buy chips.

There isn't a lot of room for mounting holes. You can't really see it from the picture but the board's fairly busy. Maybe we can do something clever with stick-on rubber feet?

For anyone wondering, this is a half-scale pod kept intentionally simple. The fancy stuff like fan throttling and software voltage and six-pin jacks and screwholes for legs or cases or whatever are all gonna be there on the big one. So don't ask if such-and-such feature is gonna be on this, because it isn't.
