600 GH/s will mine 0.225 BTC per day, right now... and will of course drop a little every week as difficulty increases.

With difficulty doubling monthly, "a little every week" is a bit ... little Wink

Talking about J/GH introduces another variable... BTC:USD price.. since power energy is billed in $.

Power is too, but that's not what's being discussed.  Data centers pay demand charges, but Joe 600G doesn't. 

Who is Joe 600G can I ask?

FWIW, the question in the topic is confused.  The question shouldn't be "600 GH/s how long is it good for?" it should be "0.6J/GH how long is it good for?" since absolute hashrate has nothing at all to do with hour long you can usefully mine with it, but power consumption sure does. Any answer on the lifetime will ultimately be mostly conjecture, but at least its a sensible question once framed in terms of power.

ASI Chip manufacturers will just produce more chips. Think "efficiency", that is what counts.

I've been looking around to see what $5000 can get me that will be relevant for the next six months.

About seven BTC, then hodl.

I would agree, but so many people claim to have free electricity through various means .........

I wouldn't too much stock into the timeline of yours when you're putting your chips in BFL's court...

Hellow everyone. I am planning on preordering the butterfly labs 600 gh/s card that is shipping some time in February. I wanted to know how long that machine would be relevant and if there was a way to calculate the break even point. In short is it worth the investment eventhough it will be arriving next year?

I think the OP wants hardware now , now pre-order
