And I've been watching for, waiting for, hoping for something with even a fraction of the dynamic here and on the Klondike threads to generate around design for the BFL chips. 

Unless I'm missing it, it isn't happening.  Maybe the attitudes and perceptions of the chip vendor informs the attitudes - and who is attracted to - the grass root, open source, DIY effort.

I think this is mainly because the PCBs required for BFL's chips are a lot more complex (from what i read you need 10 layers boards) and i'm not sure that BFL has provided everything that is needed for DYI projects. But even if we had some projects around it personally i wouldn't give money to a company like BFL and to a retard like Josh Zerlan.

Of course it's a much harder job to design the chip from scratch as well, but seeing as BFL has actually done the hard part there, it beggars belief that they can't push on & get units out faster.
Burnin, BKKcoins & the others have pretty much done their development out of their own pockets as far as I'm aware so, pcb complexity aside, it's bizarre that they are on schedule to pump out more hashing power than BFL have done in the 1yr+ development time they've had, and not to mention with all that pre-order money they received.

(touch wood)

I think it makes more sense to design a bitfury PCB instead one for BFL chips.

+1! burnin said he will do it so *hooray*

Also to have some final numbers before the ordering window would be great. Such as with shipping and VAT costs.

I am new - but have been lurking for a long time.

I have been watching developments on this along with the other builds - very impressive.

I noticed that http://www.asic-chips.com/ is offering the boards with Burnin's design with the chips and is also located in Belgium.   Does anyone on this thread have any direct affiliation with this particular site?

Since he was accepting paypal I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

Please pull the project to github for public, Burnin
