i am interested in it but really want to find one with the shortest break even!
This one wasnt too bad
http://fpgamining.com/     400 megahash/s at 17.2 watts and it cost like $580.0 and my power per kilowatt hr is 13pence so it worked out at £20.16 to power it 24/7.
But after working it out it looked liek it might take time to break even at it roughly earning 0.5550 bitcoin a day!


SO anyone got a good fpga that didnt take long to break even!

Break even times for hardware are usually between 1-4 years. FPGAs take longer, GPUs still have a bit better Mh/$ ratio but require more power. You may wait for asics to come out. People are working on it: e.g. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-entering-the-future-of-asic-mining-by-inventing-it-99497



The numbers are way of. Someone is preying on people's money...

Unfortunately if Bitcoin changes significantly, the ASICs could be rendered useless. They're dedicated mining units, so they're only good for mining.
