The kickstarter project is going to be expired in about 2 days. The price will go up a bit after the kickstarter promotion. One board now is $699 (which will go up to over $1000), and we also have sets of 1299 for two boards, 2599 for four boards, and 3899 for 6 boards.
We still has gap to make the kickstarter project success, so if you'd like to buy some boards, we appreciate you to back now at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onetswitch/onetswitch-open-source-hardware-for-networking Thanks and regards, Chengchen On 2015-3-3, at 下午9:47, huc@ieee <h...@ieee.org> wrote: > > Sorry for a little bit off topic. > > This email is to inform you a new open source hardware for networking > innovation called ONetSwitch.
