The noise complaints are numerous. So why doesn't Spondoolies address this issue and make an alternate version in a 2U rack size? I'm sure they would sell more units if they weren't so loud.

Because the product is already obsolete and they have the SP 30 to move now. Wouldn't make sense spending the money on engineering for something that is soon to go EOL. Would be a great miner though.

Spondoolie is making another batch of SP10's for sale in mid June. While it is obsolete for some people, it isn't obsolete for everyone. But at that point in time it is more worth it to buy an SP30. 1.4TH/s is just a smudge these days. I'm even thinking of getting an SP30 but told myself I would never pre-order another miner in my life and I'm sticking to that. We could have $200 BTC prices again over night.

It's also quite a price difference between the SP-10 and the SP-30. $2695 is a bit easier to swallow than $5095 for some. Oh, and that SP-10 is available NOW, whereas it'll be September before I can pick up that SP-30. Compound that with the power requirements of the SP-30, and that SP-10 doesn't look so obsolete. I was truly hoping for that SP-15 as it would represent a rig I could still run at home without having to install my own personal data center. Come September, if I want that SP-30, I have two choices: 1) install a 240V/30A circuit in my home, including outlet, and PDU or 2) pay someone to host it for me. Chances are good I'm going to go with option 1, simply because I like having complete control over my gear.
