that looks like a mess,where did you purchase from?
What's the point? If I was gonna spend $2000 on an ASIC I'd buy one that mines Bitcoin! 
Litecoin will just die if it becomes ASIC only.

GPU is still a cheaper option if you get a r9 280 at $350 that mines at 650 KH/s
So you need ~ 4 or 5 cards, $1,400(4) or $1,750(5). A mobo ~$125?, 2 PSUs = ~$180, Processor = ~30, Risers, ~25, Ram = ~25...
Where are we at... ~$1,760 for a 4 card rig, or $2,110 for a 5 card rig (assume shipping was included...)
Power wise, it's what, ~70W vs 1200W (4 Card) or ~1500W (5 card). To be honest I'm not sure which route is the better alternative.
I'm going to guess that the prices were set to be approximately equivalent to the GPU counterpart and they're leveraging the massive decrease in power requirements as their benefit.
Either way, people are going to buy these and the Scrypt GPU miners of today are going to be none-too-happy with the long-term outcome.
Where were they bought from? I would like to purchase 20 of them.

how much are these?
Too bad they are so way overpriced, the chip maker is going to make a fortune mining on these. I wonder if some of the 100+ mhash users out there are actually gridseed farms.
Are they really though? ~3MH for $2,000. That's ~3 or 4 290X, mobo, ram, cpu, and PSUs. You'd pay around $2,000 for that, but you'd be using a boatload more power. I'm not saying it's wise to purchase, but I don't think they're that out of line.
3MH per each unit at what price in Feb?

Those are beautiful.
Hi xbitcoinx,
I have 1 unit and I'm trying to run it with the cpu miner. However, I keep on getting "http request failed" error. I also don't have the controller.
Sorry, would you mind sharing the steps?
I followed the guideline sent by my seller as follows:
minerd --freq=600 --gc3355=COM3 --url=http://www.coinotron.com:3334 --userpass=xxxxxx:xxxxxx
Do I need a mining proxy?
Thanks.
[edit] Managed to work the rig with the WeMineLTC.com

Lies! You only have 9! 
Looks nice though, how much noise / heat do they make?

gave one to my buddy.
the noise is almost close to cpu fan's one. no heating obviously.

here youtube link.

It show 200~300kh and 7w power cost per miner in case scrypt only mining.

And Some additional infos from my website though written in korean, besides run it without controller board.
http://xbitcoinx.com/Bitcoin_Mining/65972
The price was 11198rmb(2000$) for 10 miner sets + one controller board.
Imo It doesn't have much advantages against gpu running
But you guys should not miss the next one which will be released on Feb for scrypt only like 3MH per, revealed by the gridseed company's official post. http://cybtc.com/thread-5203-1-1.html
