damnit knc, why did you have to remove ports 5 & 6 from the Nov Jups. Sad

Some of the Oct Jupiters were shipped with only 4 ports as well. Not really fair for those that planned to upgrade them.

$2 in parts, a little soldering skills....

No soldering skills here, but can you link me to the parts?

+1 on that request.

I solder. It is not a simple as it sounds. The odds are higher that you'll make your controller board non-functional than succeed in adding sockets - unless you are an experienced technician with a lot of soldering time. Get an old motherboard, remove a connector with .1" spacing between the pins even if it has many more pins than the socket you wish to add to the controller board. Try putting one of those sockets into the motherboard. You'll see it's more difficult than you expect. Anyone who would tell a novice to try such a thing to a controller board is looking to reduce the net hashrate by killing your machine.

Saying "I solder" is like saying "I Drive" you can be good at it or bad.

With a $10 desoldering pump and a decent iron this is (on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being surface mount technology) a 3 at the worst.
Its 10 huge holes that need to be cleared and a socket installed.

If the thread weren't 1430 pages, I'd find the post with photos of a user who 'successfully' accomplished the feat.

I remember that photo, it was a scary job done by someone who did NOT know how to solder.
He didnt clear the holes first

I assume you're referring to this --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3665932#msg3665932

Yep, that was me! Looking back, I can't believe that I got it working. That box is currently hashing at 1026GH/s though. Those who know me know that I'm a bit of a risk taker... and so is everyone else mining this newfangled magic internet money.
