Yep - I ordered a 5 GHs box about a month ago and they said it would be another 30 to 60 days before it arrives.

By then I will need a 25 GHs box just to keep up...

You can try this calculator to give you an estimate.

WOW - pretty cool....

So to get the default settings....  running 50,000 Mhash/s (is this the same as 50 Ghash/s?)
... you could buy this?

And it would be $2500 and assuming 100W @ $0.15/kwhr it would generate $23235.83 USD in 3 months?

If that's the case, why doesn't everyone order one of these $2500 boxes?Huh

Actually, lots of these boxes have been ordered.

because it's vaporware until they actually ship something to customers who have already ordered.

Are you pool mining or solo mining?

I would be solo mining I guess?

don't solo mine with that low of a hash rate, join a pool.

Just curious.... how long would you figure it will take?

The bitcoin awarding, is it completely random, or based on a # of computations?
