Just thinking out loud here, but are sure that hyper-efficient litecoin mining wouldn't actually kill its value?

High performance ltc hardware should secure the currency more,as long as the public as equal access to the hardware, similar to the availability of consumer grade GPUs.

I'm interested as well and will purchase numerous ones pending performance numbers of course. Funds are ready whenever the design is. For me electricity isn't a big deal being I pay $0.09 KW/Hr which is pretty good considering that power+line delivery costs+taxes

Depends on what the miners did with them, some will sell just enough to cover the bills of operation, electric, personal time, etc.  While some may keep dumping and yet others will hoard every red ltc earned... naturally if there are more of the first and last kind of miners you'd expect a price increase regardless of the economy growing for ltc, if most of the miners are in the middle group then it all depends on if the ltc economy grows in terms of businesses/services/demand accordingly....

In any case I'm willing to bet the first scenario is very likely...

I am also interested if the product is ready.

I did a brief googling on FPGA, and saw that there is PCI-e FPGA card. I am wondering if this type of card can access system memory and therefore provide the memory needed by scrypt algo. PCI-e has adequate bandwidth and perhaps acceptable latency?

How do FGPA's compare to GPU for Hashrate? or is it that they save more electricity?

I'm building a LTC mining rig over the next month and looking at all my options, especially if I should just save it.

I don't know about the designs people are talking about or how it'll work on LTC, but the previous generation of BTC miners seemed to run similar to GPU in cost to hashing power (or a bit more expensive), but with much lower power usage.

Rule of thumb is under promise, over deliver. This is our aim in this case.

If only every business owner in the *coin world were like you.

I just discovered this.  Looking forward to seeing great things, and I would probably be interested in ordering at least one unit.

Registering my interest here.

Willing to purchase in bulk (>20) too, depending on price to performance ratio.

Cheers.

Also registering my interest, although only for a few.
Power here is 0.23 AU/kWh and half my profit goes on power costs so...
