I received my X-1 today. And now the fan doesn't spin up. 
After several months of waiting the only thing I can do with it is playing some Android games.
And I thought it can't get worse...

I saw on their forum that sometimes the fan connectors are installed backward. try flipping it.
You should complain! The unit is obviously faulty!
Let us know how that RMA goes.
This time they're really quick. Not even 12 hours after opening the ticket I got a tracking number for a replacement fan.
WoW, totally unexpected.
How is it with that X1, how many procent of you inital investment do you think you can get back?
I think the only way I will get anything back is by selling it on ebay. Even then it will be a loss. As energy costs are quite high here in Germany it will produce even more losses when switching it on.
Did you try to downclock it? It can work at 0.5w GH. at 40 GH/S total Consumption about 25w, if you remove fan and LCD as well place smaller fan like 20 x 20 mm it will be even less. Best i got was 19 W per 40 GH, and it worked without fan. Just don't forget that you can ruin PSU without any cooling applied.
I couldn't make any tests because of the broken fan. I'm waiting till I get the replacement one. But I had planned to undervolt and downclock. I have read the voltage adjustment thread on ecointalk.
