I was screwed by RS. Paid for 2, received 1 after 3 months. We exchanged a few emails weak ago, but I still don't have an explanation from them.

I signed up to be contacted when it was my turn to order. Took about a week for that to happen then I got an mail from element 14 with a 1-800 number. I ordered on Oct 28th and the expected delivery time is Dec 15.
FYI.
I bought a few extra units so I can contribute to the BTC economy by puting them up for sale.
I got the latest 512mb versions. Fingers crossed it runs ASICs reliably.

I bought one from RSComponents in June and it just shipped last week, still hasn't arrived. They are very hard to come by. You'll just have to wait it out.

Actually, I want more than one, and some for non-bitcoin things, so I might as well get one now and get familiar.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone.

Where are you guys getting your Pi from? Even the places that people recommend are sold out, say "might ship in 6 months" or have a super inflated price.

I would WAIT, until you see the state on the USB fix.
If they cannot fix it ,then without a hardware fix a PI is going to be useless as a reliable  mining controller

I ordered from rs-online - and have been waiting over a month.
A friend ordered from element 14, a few weeks after me - got his within 5 days.

Seems to me rs-online are taking money and waiting til they get enough to order in bulk.   
Annoyed.
