Cool. They are getting close to shipping mine it looks like.
How much power does it use?
I've been kind of curious about power usage. Was going to try replacing the TIM and fan on the Jalapeno (stock one is pretty loud and obnoxious) here in the next few days hopefully, will hook it up to a Kill-A-Watt when I'm working on it and see how much it's reporting.
I think the early Jalapenos were using about 30-35W, but they might have managed to tweak and reduce the power draw a bit on the newer ones.
And yeah, they're still pretty far behind on the singles last time I checked Jody's blog. Was only in the last few weeks it seems like that they really started getting Jalapenos out the door quickly.
Just spent about $480 on 9x Block Erupters, a 10-port hub, and USB fan earlier this week as well. Probably won't even end up breaking even on them, but oh well, after getting the Jalapeno was just in the mood to play around with some more ASICs. At current difficulty and BTC price, payoff for the Jalapeno is only like a month, so that should make up for it.
edit: Looks like mine's drawing exactly 30W at the wall. So looking at about 21.6kWh per month, roughly a couple dollars a month to operate based on local electric rates.
Replaced the stock fan as well with a slim 92mm Noctua and it made an enormous difference in the noise, can't even tell the Jalapeno is on and doing it's thing now. Didn't have to sacrifice too much on temperature either, replacing the thermal pad with IC Diamond paste might have helped with that. Temp reported in cgminer was 41-42C before, now about 43-44C.
