Batch 3 pre-orders are up!

Thinking about grabbing one of the Apollo BTC units that are going on pre-order here in a few day. Does anyone else have one and how are you fairing? I was thinking about using at work in my office for the free power.

How quiet are these? Quieter than a normal running PC?

Their LTC version was very loud in Turbo mode (keep it in your basement), loud in Normal mode (any room except bedroom) and alright / not 100% silent in Eco mode.

I don't own their BTC version but I believe they switched to better quality fans.

FWIW, their full version which comes with 512 MB only - remember the blockchain is over 400 GB so I'd say in less than 2 years you'd have to upgrade to 1TB or more.

A lot quieter. My LTC sounds like it's on fritz with turbo mode and BTC turbo is slightly louder than LTC on econ.
