Bitmain did a nice Job in Packaging, not even a scratch on that Baby.

They copied Parts from other Miner, The PI-Board is from the L3 and the Hasboard Design is from D3.

There is no SD-Card inserted, was first a bit afraid but worked without ;)

I had to play around bit with the Wiring and Reset the Device to get it working.
Result is a Device Hashing with 830GH/s Sia in Average and taking between 1350 and 1500 Watt from the wall@230V
The Miner is so loud that i hear them in 1. Floor of our House, and the Miner is placed in the Cellar...

Awesome, how does it compare to using a graphics card?

The diff is exploding due to BItmains sold 15K Units of this Baby, i think for GPU it is game over now.

Enjoy the new boss in town,Like a boss.

Woah! I wasn't aware that bitmain made asics for SIA mining! What happened to the Obelisk?

The Obelisk will be most probably obsolet by the Time it is available.
