The second batch of Compac stick miners should be appearing within a week or two. I'm a bit behind schedule on manufacturing for them.
We're also sold out on 750W PSU boards right now, but another batch should be ready around the first of December.
I'm working on an 8-chip pod miner that takes a standard CPU cooler, made with recycle parts. There's a trade-in program going to happen, where you can trade old or dead miners for these small miners. They'll run about the same efficiency curve as the Compac stickminer (0.3-0.55W/GH or so) with an expected draw around 15W for 44GH at the bottom and about 120W for 200GH at the top. Voltage will be software-adjustable. More details in this thread:

We also will soon have prototypes and get started running out a batch of new server supply boards. The board will work with DPS800 and DPS1200 supplies, and any other PSU which uses the same pinout. You'll have the option of either our standard screw terminals (8 positions per rail), or 6-pin PCIe connectors (10 per board). All the favorite features will be included - external on, power good signal, 3.3V standby, and the optional 5VDC aux supply.
We're also in the process of upgrading our hosting infrastructure and adding about 50KW of power, which I should have online by the first of December. We'll be dropping the standard rate to about $65 per KW-month and there is no minimum power draw. As always, VPN remote access is free. We'll probably be offering some nifty packages like discounted PSU purchases or free use of PSUs for new customers on things like the S7 or Avalon6. This is deliberately a teaser update and more details will follow because I don't have them all yet.
GekkoScience is going to be pretty darn busy the rest of the year, but it should be pretty great.
