What about a BFL farm if they can meet the demand or a farm of Rig Box devices ?

That would be something new and not done before in the community.

I've thought about that.  I suspect FPGA rigs like that might be the future, but I'm not ready to make that jump for the following reasons:
1) Who knows if/when BFL will deliver the big boxes and what their real specs will be
2) I already have the 6990's and can easily add more (infrastructure is in place to expand)
3) Current FPGA's aren't as attractive when power is very cheap ($/Mh is high to acquire)
4) GPUs can be rented out to do other kinds of processing if bitcoin mining loses profitability
5) You can always sell GPUs to gamers

Hi everyone-

I'm looking for your ideas about what would be nice to see in a new mining organization with features that get people excited to invest and be an investor - something interesting and lucrative.

Here is the short of it:
  • In terms of credentials, I've been an active forum member for a long time and currently run a ~40Gh mining farm (mostly on maxbtc.com) - [note: this farm won't be part of the new mining company]
  • I recently acquired 30 x 6990 GPUs in order to build a new ~18Gh farm
  • I am looking to raise about 1000 btc in exchange for ownership in this new 18Gh farm
  • The capital would be used to build rigs for the 6990's and upgrade power and ventilation in my data center
  • Mining is quite profitable for me.  I have facility and network fixed costs (which get lower as I add more rigs), but I only pay 5.2 cents/kwh in power
  • Once I hit 50kVA in a month through expansion, or if I move to another county a bit further out, the power price will drop near 3 cents/kwh

I am looking for your suggestions on what you would want to see in a new mining operation.  More dividends, more reinvestment, maximize profits, expansion into other uses for hashes (e.g. render farm, penetration testing, etc.)??  With your suggestions I hope to define the organization this weekend with an IPO next week.
