I was supposed to have some information I needed to complete the update yesterday, but it didn't happen. I should have it today sometime and I will post an update then. It's 7AM in KC right now, so people are just getting into the office... they should get my info at some point today. I do know that we have the test board running stable at 650 GH/s at the moment, so all is well on that front.

The Imperial will likely need another board rev. I am pushing to start shipping 600 GH/s units now as opposed to waiting for a new board rev. This makes shipping much more complex and we are discussing if that's even possible and if so how to handle it. It looks like we would have a new Imperial class board rev by the end of next week, but I would like to start shipping before then. I will post a more detailed technical explanation in the update. The Imperial class board rev will reduce power usage on standard Monarchs as well, which is one reason to wait. However, I am not in favor of waiting, regardless of power consumption on the 600 GH/s units and would like to start shipping next week if we can get them through manufacturing that quickly, and I don't think it will be a problem. We have the boards, they just need to be populated with components. That is part of the information I am waiting on, as well as a few more details.

No way the avoid refunds on 80%+ of their Black Friday order, refunds become available tomorrow or Friday.
