If I place an order now, shipping to Hong Kong, when can I receive it?
So I will just need to buy a PSU myself?

If need to preset overclocked by you, same shipping time? What watt PSU is needed for overclocked? Thanks!

Saw on the website "You will receive 2 PCI-E extension cables per unit. This unit needs 2 PCI-E power sources from a separate PSU. "
Why does it need 2 PSU? Can one powerful PSU run? What's the specs needed? Thanks!

Some tips for those sending your boards in:

  • You are dealing with electronics, try to avoid static electricity and packing materials that could cause it.
  • Please do not package your boards to survival a nuclear war. Seriously, I know courier services can rage hell on items shipped, but  taping the tape to the tape which is wrapped around more tape is completely unnecessary and could do more harm than good.
  • With the thought of the above statement in mind, this also do not mean, throw it in a box with no packaging at all.
  • Last but not least, most of you (thus far) did a good job at putting which boards had which problems (etc), while some of you didn't put anything. Please be sure to put information with the boards.


All of the above will help things go smoother, as then the people completing said repairs won't have to take huge amounts of time to unbox, unpack, etc and can spend more time repairing.
True. I hope all of you from UK/EU do follow this as well.

UK/EU will be handle by me. Please access:

I haven't receive any tracking for UK yet. Does it mean will be fixed before sending out?
Or are they on the way already?

What inductor should I order...? Can we know the part number? Thanks!

If your doing them on a mini plane ...niether. I'd want to look for one with at least 2X6 pin plugs built in(more if your collecting the whole set). I've got a rosewill fortress 550w 80 plus platnum for over the top HTPC build (I'm not putting a graphics card in yet but I want it too be ready for whatever).

A quick run through newegg makes me think

a fractal (since I believe its supposed to be a good brand)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817580008

or

corsair (BIG Known name brand)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139059


The 520W Antec have 1 x 6-pin and 1 x 8 (6+2)-pin PCI-E connectors, is that enough?
The mini plane needs 2 x 6-pin PCI-E connectors right?

Hi Barntech,

does the UK orders ship from you includes microUSB cables?
Just a bit confused, do I need one for each or one for one mini plane?
Should make my last order from farnell online today.

Thanks!

A quick question, for having more than one board, if connected through mini plane, do they share the same USB? Or they need one each? Thanks. Just making my last order on Farnell, so wanna make sure I have everything.

Power supply
RPi
RPi power adapter
One USB to microUSB cable
Maybe getting some fans?
Heatsinks?

Anymore? Thanks!

Just posting a little note for others here.  I have made a guide on how to compile the Drillbit CGMiner for Raspbian on the Drillbit forums found here: http://drillbitsystem.com/forum/index.php?topic=191.0

This guide is just for those that are running Raspbian on their Raspberry PI who wish to do it themselves.  If it is wanted I can actually attempt to make a .DEB file to simplify it.  If anyone wants me to post it on that post and I'll get to work on it as soon as I can.

Just ordered RPi. Hope I could get it soon and set it up before the boards come. Thanks for that, hope I understand :p as I never try my hands on RPi.

Also, just put up a photo of the hub for stacking two full miniplanes, and updated prices for bare boards. 1-5 for $25 each, 5+ for $20 each.  Smiley
That is an aeroplane :p
What is the advantage of doing so? Thou I don't have that much of boards Sad

Just bought a couple USB thumbs for fun. Thanks Barntech!

Haven't plumbed the depths of this thread yet but can someone tell me what's the latest on ETA for boards & USB thumbs?
DZ, seems everything going well, they just uploaded the photos of the sample PCB.  Tongue

Yea...I won't do it for one large shipment. I would rather send it to my work address (UK). That usually speeds up. :p
