I'm assuming it's for their 10GH/s blades. They sell single units for 50BTC, with bulk orders a little below that.
Meh. ASICMINER seems to price their ASIC's at more or less the same profitability as modern GPU's. And you can resell GPU's. Either way you are looking at ~4 months to make the investment back. The story is even worse with the USB miners - $0.67 USD per Mh/s versus a 7950 at $0.5 USD per Mh/s.
Well you have to factor power efficiency into this. Sure the two are still comparable -- but the usb miners take a far less amount of power, space, and output much less heat, which is are big selling points.
I'm not paying 2BTC for a 300MH/s miner, no matter how little power it draws. It's not worth it.

I'll wager you've never managed a farm of more than 20 high-end GPUs, which you would need to equal one BE blade.  Also, you didn't factor cooling, electricity, mobos, power supplies, equipment storage, yadda yadda yadda.  And you'd be selling those GPUs as stressed equipment (if you're honest) while I could sell my blades for pretty much the same price.  If its anything like the BFL FPGAs singles were, they'll be selling at a premium.  So, if your suggestion is "just buy a bunch of video cards", then I wish you good luck (snicker).

As you see from above BFL is not doing so good.

Avalon just started shipping their batch 2, maybe only 20 units with 1180 to go.

You might want to check out our site below.  Getting ready to take per-orders today or tomorrow.



There are no prices yet. Are you in the Springfield, MO area? I would like to come up for a visit of your installations.
Please let me know if you are open to show your production line.

Is BitForce SC 5Gh/s and Avalon ASIC #1 being shipped ?
This website say yes :
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Depends. If you define shipment of ~30 demo units to developers, magazine authors, family&friends - after that stop shipping again - as "shipping: yes", then yes.

But most of us would they "shipping: no".

You must be right.
