I see my coupons now .075btc x 3
when do they expire? expiration date is useful to know since it will give an indication when they will be available again for batch 4.
I predict there will be a big drop in price for batch 5, the reason is simple for batch 4 there are a lot of coupons for the people that did not want the refund which reduces the need for price reduction beyond the 7.7% for drop hash rate, and another 9% for difficulty increase, but as expected they will sell out quickly, for batch 5 all the coupons will be gone, and further increases in difficulty will force them to drop the price further, and by then mostly everyone that wanted one will have at least one, once they start selling from stock is when prices will be the lowest, just like it happened with the S1, history repeats. currently the s3 is the best deal for the money that I am aware of.
for me, validity time:
2014-07-12 00:00:00~2014-08-16 00:00:00
What do you recommend me guys then if i plan to run 2 S3 at 212,50 Frequency(~424,81 GH/s? - 362W / each, 724 W total). Use 1 corsair CX750W for 2 S3 with that frequency(212,50 - 362 W), or 1 corsair for each S3, and buy i dont know a 1000W new PSU for 2 more S3.
thanks
another really good power supply is the xfx 1250 gold, that could easily handle 3 s3 but unlike the antec it only has 8 pci-e connectors, however you would have to use a single pci-e connector for most blades, and it cost a little less than the antec.
Both antec and xfx I have used them in the past under an extreme environment with great success.
