I think its fine as it is. If there was no need for non custom hardware talk, why are there still 100s of posts in there? We don't want non-custom in custom so why force them into here.
Go look in the regular hardware forum... most of what gets put there gets moved by mods into custom hardware, and most of what remains is arguably misplaced anyways.

I think that the ASIC related discussions could be moved to the Hardware section and discussion of things like K16 boards could stay in the Custom hardware section.

I propose we merge custom hardware into mining hardware: All viable bitcoin mining hardware today is "custom" to some extent. I also propose we create a "mining hardware development" subforum to host the small amount of actual development discussion.

Thoughts?
Agreed

I think back then the non-custom hardware had much more GPU related discussions which are now obsolete.  There doesn't seem to be a reason to split off ASICs into "custom hardware" anymore.

Hmm, from a maintenance perspective...how can you easily establish 'development' from the 'established' products? What I tend to see atm is lots of initial discussions (dev) possibly resulting in a real product. Obviously the market will mature more and more, having more established manufacturers posting on their new and directly deliverable products. However I feel that maintaining that is operating in the grey zone (?).
