I am still quite confused as to how come the rest of the hardware is not ready when the ASIC chips were delayed by a few months?
eg cases not made yet, is that for real?
That is a very valid point chap, I think we are in for more delays.
This was discussed a while back. They need to know the specs of the finished chip such as wattage, package size, pinout, thermal properties, etc. Until this is known they can't design the heatsinks. The case can't be designed until the heatsinks are done, etc.
Granted, their communication sucks but I think we all knew in the back of our heads to expect delays when we ordered last year. I did anyway. The way I see it, I bought a bunch of Block Erupters last fall and didn't expect to really make even close to ROI but I didn't care. They were cheap and an easy way for me to get into Bitcoin. Fast-forward 9 months and I've made more than 3x what I paid for everything, I feel confident I'll do the same with these.
Food for thought, nothing more.
