I am wondering if anyone who has received and set up one of the ASICminer USB mining rigs has any stats to run through a profitability calculator. I am aware the initial price paid is a big driver and my guess is people paying $300+ on eBay won't be seeing breakeven for some time, but I'm curious about the variable cost side of things.

If it is USB, then it should be below 5W, which is 5V*1A.

i don't have a way to measure their power draw, but the ones i've got are hashing at about 330 mhash on average.

Thanks!

US$300.00+? That would almost make sense. try US$700+. personally, i don't see where the power savings are going offset the almost double the price of comparable GPU. If i remember right, these are 300Mh/s miners. I have trouble rationalizing more than US$1.00 per Mh/s. Are these people ever going to make their investment back? Just because i want try one, I've bid as much as US$430.00 for one and always get blown away before the auction closes. I doubt that i will ever get one at auction. sooner or later the price will cool some... I hope.
