I used this calculator:

But I also did it after a beer and some single malt lol.
Suddenly it's 2 hours go figure.

How long will 1 Terahash take to solve/find a block.
Today? About two hours.
In "October"? Depends on how many FPGAs ship between now and when BFL starts shipping in its initial set of ASIC units.
20 hours actually

A question to add for other newbies such as myself... what would be the minimum hash rate to solo mine?
Depends on how long you're willing to wait to solve a block. At the current difficulty of 17265676 it'll take almost 3 months (2060 hours) at a 10 GH/s hash rate on average.
10x that hash rate will do it in 1/10 the time.
BFL Engineer says that the products will definitely be out by October, and yes I am anticipating the huge increase in network hash rate soon.
Thats what they always say. Lots of people are still waiting for the mini-rigs.

I'm thinking of joining Deepbit with my 1-4 Terahash capacity coming soon!
Presuming your "coming soon" means when BFL starts shipping their SC product line, things may change by then.
Definitely though, there's a point that it makes more sense to mine solo, even with the variance.

Which would be better for me? Solo or Deepbit?
P2Pool. They are a pool, but controlled by no central authority so no 51% possibility. Which would be better for me? Solo or Deepbit?
PLEASE don't give 4TH to DeepBit.
Also 4TH is solo-mining time, but you may want to read up some more about mining and Bitcoin before committing that kind of money.

At 1000-4000 GH/s you're as big as the biggest pools. I'd just go solo with hashing power like that.
If you go solo for a very long time, you will probably earn slightly more than from a pool. But with a pool, your earnings are more steady over time. I'd go with a pool. Don't know anything about dipbit though.
Anything is better than deepbit.
Not that I actually have anything against the guy, just that the pool gets so big it's the only one I know of that has come close to and passed the 50% mark before. Dangerous for the networks security.
