Good lord, definitely not targeting the hobby miner with that beast - where did you find it out about it?  At 240v that thing is going to be pulling down almost 15 amps, plus even those beast 2880w IBM server PSU aren't enough to power this... Power consumption is slightly better, 0.44w/GH instead of 0.51w/GH of the S5, but I that has to be a prototype case setup - I would imagine this is going into a rack mount case of some sort - but you never know with Bitmain!    It looks like they've got push and pull fans on it - and this also matches that the latest S5 firmware lists 6 fans on it's display....  I wonder what it's going to cost?

Going by bitmain standards, if that thing is published, it will cost around 11 Bitcoins.

Also, powering isn't a problem, remember you can always chain server PSUs

Somehow our merchant adv shared this information before I found it here, on Bitcointalk...

I'm with RichBC. I'd be interested in a single 3 PCB unit running on 120V.

I've had a bit of an issue the last couple of days and I'm hoping to nip it in the bud...

On Wednesday, I switched to p2pool on a local node and switched it into my #1 position. Hashing seemed to be going OK but on Thursday in the day, I noticed my miner was no longer reachable (no ping, my router showed that port as not connected). Checking the p2pool graph showed that the miner had stopped hashing at 6am. I had someone at home restart it and hashing continued. However, p2pool was adversely affecting my internet connection so I shut it down, allowing the miner to fall back to antpool. I checked it was hashing on the pool and thought no more of it.

This morning, I was woken by a beeping sound at 6am. Could this be a recurring problem? Has anyone heard of this before? It just seems odd that the times are the same.

A few more relevant details:

• Other than this, the miner has been hashing for over a week with no issues.
• p2pool was not running this morning so it should have just been failing to connect and falling back to antpool
• Miner did not seem especially hot this morning
• • I moved the miner yesterday evening to a different room so it should not be location dependent. The new area should actually be cooler (currently running at 52 and 45).
  • Not sure of the firmware version but kernel is 3.8.13 and cgminer is 4.8.0, Hardware is 3.4.3.0
  
  So just a coincidence or something else?

I wanna buy one . the setup need a pro guy or it's easy ?

I want to subtract it  of three parts, and put to work with S5 controllers each part separately.

it is possible to also add water cooling. Winter is not far away.

How long do i need to return total investment ?

   3436w is way to much for home mining. But 7th is awesome! 

Where do the specs cited come from? That's not what one would expect from Bitmain. Unless they are giving up their small form factor for more big mine oriented ASIC. That would further favor hash centralization however...
