Those aren't in mass production yet.

You have said in the other thread that you mine using AWS and own a couple FPGAs yourself.... Could you please display them working before you start asking people about money?

Here's one of my VCU118 mining NIST5 with a PCI-E interface. Couple caveats... 1) This board is only 80A 0.85V vccint, so I need to stay under that to keep from frying it. The NIST5 design is operating at a fraction of it's maximum frequency because I can't operate it faster on this board. 2) Never completed / fully optimized nist5 because literally the day I was planning to start mining it baikal started mining it with their x10. 3) The picture says "AWS FPGA" because I use the same software on both.

Excuse the dust, that case was a GPU miner back in 2011. It's the only case I had that was big enough to fit the VCU118 and still put the side on it.

And if you're curious why I named the software SuperMiner 31337, I was getting sick of pool operators getting curious about about my Fpgaminer software version string and superior hashrates. Moral of that story, pool server operators are watching and checking hashrates to try to gain an edge by seeing what's possible.

I'll see if I can make a video at some point showing it working with a monitor.

Ill back up senseless here - the board he is proposing is useful and valuable for all the FPGA mining being done. There will be many FPGA mining options soon, but if youre interested in getting into this space it is a good option.

As to the picture,
VCU118 - aka the ol Ultrascale+ test/dev bed. http://imgur.com/FKVHPNs

This is not the same space as GPU mining. Expect Bitstreams, miner development, etc. to be more ASIC like.

Edit: I would be interested in 8 of these for some testing.
