I made a purchase on the site. I pre-ordered for august as of this post i have not received my ar10. They no longer respond to my e-mails. I figured if i could not trust the site i could trust MTGOX.com. well turns out they don't care. This is a scam!!! don't Get scammed like me. They answered 12 e-mails before i ordered my ar10. I got scammed. I have complained to mtgox and filed fraud.org complaint. also reported site to the hosting company and reported the scam to facebook to get site take down. any help or tips are helpful. thanks.
One of my writers lives not far from their listed office in Oregon. I'll have one of them investigate.
Quite obviously a scam, it's true.
Incredibly crude scam. Please, don't fall for it.
Looks almost identical to BFL's stuff.
Considering the address in a few miles away from my office, I might go investigate.
In my honest opinion i think there fake. I could go on for hours why i think there fake!

Looks dodgy to me.
I laughed at their images - did they do them in ms paint?
My guess is they will either take your money and run or take your money and skip away whilst maniacally laughing at you.

Wow, 100$ for domestic shipping? And payment only in Bitcoins, so even if they don't actually exist, there's no way to get a refund? I'm sure that must be really legitimate...
Seems a bit too much of BFL clone to me 
Got this email about five hours ago from asicrigs.com .
It's not very convincing. Seems they are trying to follow the BFL "business" model a little too closely.
Still, I am watching. So far, I'm tentatively on team Terrahash. So far, their rep here has answered my questions satisfactorily, even when the answer was "I don't know." He's been pretty straight up. I am not yet willing to bet money (bitcoin or otherwise) on them, but they seem more on the up and up than any others I've looked at.

Thank you for your interest in our ASIC Rig bitcoin mining devices. First
of all, we would like to apologize for the delay in responding to your
email, the truth is, we were simply not ready to handle the enormous
amount of interest we received from the mining community relating to our
product line, so wanted to make sure that we were in a position to answer
the questions we have been getting by email truthfully, rather than give
you off-the-cuff responses.
With that being said, this email should answer most of the questions we
have been getting from individuals such as yourself over the past few
months so here goes.
1) Expected shipping date.
Whilst we do not have a solid date for shipping as yet, given the current
progress we have made over the past month with sourcing chipsets, casings
and device assembly we are anticipating that we will be able to ship our
first products to customers by the first week in August 2013.
2) Pre-Ordering.
Over the past few months, whilst we have been diligently working to ensure
that we were able to source, assemble and deliver any units ordered, we
were not taking pre-orders for our ASIC Rigs product line. However, now
that we are certain we will be able to deliver our products, we have
opened pre-orders and any products ordered will be shipped on a strictly
first-come, first-served basis. You can order your device of choice via
our website at http://www.asicrigs.com
3) Delays / Refunds.
Given past performance with several other ASIC mining device providers we
fully understand that many of you are asking about our refund and delay
policy, they are simple. If for whatever reason we are unable to ship our
devices, you will be given a FULL refund of your purchase, at the present
time, any orders that are placed will have the funds stored in our wallet,
with this in mind, you can ask for a refund at any time should you feel
that we are unable to honor your order. Any refunds given will be in
Bitcoin only (less transfer fees), meaning, if you send us 10BTC, we will
send you back 10BTC, less any tansfer fees applied, we WILL NOT send you
back cash, Paypal, or any other currency other than BTC no exceptions.
4) In-Person Pickups.
Yes, we have already arranged with several well-known individuals to pick
up their devices in person, because we are a company registered at a
private residence, we must limit the amount of business foot-flow we
receive, unfortunately at the present time, those who have already made
arrangements with us to collect their devices in person, will be the only
ones allowed to do so until such time we have moved our operation to a
commercial property.
5) Shipping.
We charge an additional $100 for shipping, this should cover the costs to
ship our ASIC Rig mining devices to anywhere globally, however, please be
advised that we will ship the devices by whichever method cost falls
within that $100 surcharge. Meaning if you are a UK based customer, we
will send via Parcel Force or registered mail, in the United States, most
likely shipping method would be FedEx or UPS Ground, for other countries
we will work with our local Royal Mail and other shipping companies to
find a solution that will work on a 'per customer' basis.
6) Order Tracking.
Because bitcoin is an anonymous currency, once an order has been placed
using our payment facilitator, you will be redirected to a page on our
website where you MUST complete an order form to let us know your name,
email address, shipping address, bitcoin payment address and several other
important bits of information. Please be advised that is it 100% your
responsibility to ensure that the information you provide on this page is
accurate, we will not be held liable for incorrect or incomplete orders
because you messed up.
We hope that the above has answered any questions you may have had about
our ASIC Rigs bitcoin mining devices and if you have further questions,
please direct them to us via email directly or, on our Facebook page
(which is linked on our website at http://www.asicrigs.com).
Please also take a moment to bookmark our website as we will be posting
updated information on it over the coming weeks to cut down the amount of
time spent with support issues so that we can focus on bringing our ASIC
mining devices to market in the quickest time possible.
Thank you for your interest in oour range of ASIC mining devices and we
look forward to doing business with you very soon.

The address is in the middle of a residential area in one of the not-so-nice buildings. I would be extremely careful.
I doubt that you can simply "source" an ASIC chip and assemble a board with it. The latter step still takes a lot of knowledge. It is unlikely that someone does that in his backyard.
Alternatively, find someone in the forum who lives closeby so they can ring and see who's there...

I simply spoke simply. I realize there is quite a bit involved in this. I have a friend who develops circuit boards for a large memory device manufacturer.
What I meant was that they could source the ASIC chips from someone such as Avalon or ASICminer, design a pcb for them, and assemble it FAR cheaper than if they develop their own, and with significantly lower lead-time.
Mmmhhh wait:

We need more legitimate ASIC suppliers.
ANY legitimate ASIC suppliers would be a start, in fact....

Bad smell to it! The pics are identical to BFL which has not shipped anything really. A couple of jalapenos to people close to them and that's it. I had ordered from BFL and Avalon and am thankful to have gotten out of BFL and got my money back! I think BFL is over their heads with their project and these people in the UK seem fraudulent! I'd stay away.
Yeah, I noted the similarity as well. The dimensions are a bit larger, and they are brushed aluminum instead of black, but aside from that, look pretty identical.
Being in the USA, I have no real way to check on 'em either. Time will tell, I suppose.
