Has anyone received a miner from colorbit? Any review?
So...I finally got my miner from colorbit-it got stuck in customs for 5 days because apparently DHL didn't bother to call me and there was no info with the shipment about what it was made of or whatever, so it took a few days for them to verify that it was a computer, etc. while the unit sat in Ohio.

Still don't have a manual or any instructions on how to set it up which is a bit of a problem...it doesn't appear on any DHCP tables and of the 3 intake fans only 1 is working?  I see blue blinking lights on all 5 "blades" in the unit so it seems like the hardware is legitimate-the controller board seems to have been somewhat loosely installed in the case and I'm not sure what the USB ports are for.  Also no places for a stand-there's screw tops sticking out of the bottom of the unit which is a little bootleg but not a big deal.  The unit is pretty compact compared to the other units I've seen.

Now if I can only get it to work.  They did include a Cat-5 cable, and some sort of 220V power cable (not the normal Chinese plug either, appears to be a high voltage plug) with the unit so if you're running this on 110V you need a different cable.  Still it was nice that they bundled a CAT-5 cable.  Really need better instructions though.
