It looks like they grabbed the first two pc related images they found on a google search. F for trying to scam people in the first place and 0 for effort. :/

Scam for sure , no one will try to make an asic for equihash because if known the algorithm will be changed and this machine will not worth a penny , and thats a huge risk for developers and users.
But if that were true, wouldn't they have stayed away from any of the 'X' series algo's? Especially considering its 11-15 rounds of hashing? Following your  theory all that would be needed to make the bakail X series miners 'worthless' would be to change 1 round of the hashing?

I'm not saying these are real by any means, its pretty well established now that its a scam, but based on your reasoning most ASIC's would never have been made....
Also as stated above
~snip~ but equihash is more prone to fpga than etheruem for exmaple, so in the future it's possible to have the hash rate much higher ~snip~
They can't because they didn't say they will ,but zec team said that, i can't tell how technically it can be done , but i think they can change the algo before asics takes more than 51% of the network hashrate, but even if it is not true it will keep asics away for a time.
I think anyone made or trying to make an asic for zec or eth will keep for self profit rather than selling and risk that algo change or fake POS ( if they exist)

Has any body else seen these yet? Is this for real?!?!? Has anyone actually unboxed one yet? what is power usage?

no it can't be, but equihash is more prone to fbga than etheruem for example, so in the future it's possible to have the hash rate much higher, i think what you linked oculd be a rig that mine equihash, made of amd gpu like they did with the panda miner for etheruem, at first everyone claimed that it was an asic, but it was just composed by gpu chipset

This might be the lamest scam attempt ever, when it comes to the so-called "products".

It is a picture of external hard drive manufactured by Seagate.

They have two products. The "big" one is an old HTPC from 2013 and the smaller one is an external HDD. So no, it cannot be and is not for real.
