OK....time to take a step back.  Here are my views on the overall theme.

C1s are great...compact, efficient, low noise, easy to configure (maybe have to reflash an SD card, but not really a big deal)...BUT, the overall cost (mostly due to shipping) is a concern.

There are some serious concerns with the cooling kits...both in terms of quality and shipping costs.

I completely disagree with others on this forum who defend the shipping currently being charged.

This really isn't rocket science. It costs a lot to ship "one offs" from China to the USA. It costs much less (on a per unit basis) to ship lots of units. BitMainTech and SysCooling should work with someone stateside to figure out how to do this right.  I will take myself out of the mix so there is no conflict of interest, but somebody should make a deal to get a bunch of these to the USA via an efficient shipping method and then resell/reship them to US buyers....and I promise you, you won't have to spend $70K to do so and should be able to cut a deal to make a nice profit. 

Happy Mining.
