Kinda a disappointment but I wasn't too hopeful. Do you know any descent miners for SHA-256 or scrypt for under $100, they dont have to make money just not lose any due to power costs.
Depends on your kw/h price!

Very likely they just used that socket. I doubt it actually uses PCI signalling and addressing on the backplane. For all the data that's being transferred, the overhead would be ridiculous.
I can confirm the blades will NOT work in a mobo... i tried
You could probably fetch some AntMiner S1, or BlackArrow X-1 for under $100. Some S3 are getting close to that price point. Or look into RockMiner gear; they have some smaller miners geared more for beginners in the <$100 range.
Not losing money on hardware in that range might be difficult, with the coin price dropping and power efficiency of competetive gear shifting to 0.5W/GH these days. For four times the money you can get stuff with ten times the hashrate at five times the power draw.

from what I can see the the antminer s2 blades are pci. If this is right would you be able to buy a single blade and a pci riser cable and use it and any desktop with pci?
