If you're that picky, wait for someone to start making the K1 boards. I bet those will sell like hotcakes. Very similar to the Block Erupter, about the same 280-300MH/s, but uses Avalon chips instead of the ASICMiner chips, and is going to be a lot cheaper. Last I had heard, the prices were around 0.3BTC + the Avalon chip (which is less than 0.1BTC). You could have one for less than 0.4BTC. It won't get here tomorrow like the ASICMiner one, but it will prolly get here sooner than your Jalapeno (depending on how soon you expect BFL to catch up).

Ok, it is final. I am getting a miner.  Grin

But now, I need to know which one I should get.  Tongue

I am getting the BFL Jalapeno or a USB Miner.

Here are the pros and cons of each:

BFL:

Pros:
  • 5Gh/s
  • Only $275
  • Same price as USB miner, more value

Cons:

  • Arrives LOTS later
  • Uses more power
  • Not as space Efficient(compared to the USB
  • Doesn't have share notification light

USB:

Pros:

  • Space Efficient
  • LED light
  • Arrives day after I order it

Cons:

  • Much less value
  • You need to buy 50 unless you are in a group buy
  • Fragile
Thanks for the advice!

Anyone that says 'You will not make a profit' is going to get removed.
