Just build your own, its easier to put together a computer then people who havent put one together think

You do realize that when ASIC's are a reality, and that will happen, FGPU's and GPU mining will be no good anymore since the difficulty will be increased so high that they are unable to be used, just like what happened to CPU mining.

So my point is, I would not spend the money to build a kick ass box right now, only to see it become obsolete and useless for mining inside of a year.

Depends on what you mean by opportunity. Can you mine more than you use in electricity using GPUs right now? Yes, definitely.

ASICs could (and are) change that... Although some would suggest that you just move to LTC as BTC becomes tough to mine with GPUs. Lots of others will also move to LTC (or other currencies) as BTC becomes unprofitable though, so it isn't as good a hedge as you might think.

You can also take the risk and buy an ASIC miner, although that is a gamble all to its own.

Is mining coins really an opportunity today? What is the best thread for anyone trying to figure out if mining is viable for newbie?

I'd suggest building your own GPU miner. It isn't difficult to do, and you can get plenty of advice for mining hardware on here. What is your budget? I bet we could find you parts on NCIX or Newegg (assembled and everything) for that same price that add up to a much better miner than these pre-built sites offer. They're charging a premium for the expertise you can find on here for free.

I built a personal computer this week, for example, that isn't purpose built for bitcoin mining and still beats the price/MHash that I see in some of the adds on this website. It is very easy.

Most Sites Are Scams

I agree, only Avalon and Butterfly Labs are legit (the latter only seems to be legit, as no one received their shipment yet)

Then where I can get a miner earlier than July?

Get a GPU or buy an Avalon #1 at aprox. $50,000

The only companies that I know of (via research) that are actually/partially/almost ready to ship asic miners are:

ButterFly Labs: taking pre-orders, not quite yet shipping but did send a dev machine to David Perry who put up a video of the 5GH/s device.

AsicMiner: selling shares of themselves plus considering selling devices

Avalon: Only company that I know of that has actually shipped an Asic based miner.

yea, but they are overpriced for Bitminer starter Sad

We are building custom machines for mining litecoin, but we won't be able to have them in anyone's hands until May 15th. If you're interested just shoot me a PM, we don't charge much more than the cost of parts, and our top of the line machine hashes around 3000 kh/s for mining litecoin.

Might have this wrong but doesn't 3000 kh/s = 3 Mh/s?

LTC mining is rated in kHash/sec for casual mining...kHash/sec for LTC is roughly equivalent to the mHash/sec rating for BTC mining. Ie, i get around 200mHash/sec out of my GPU for BTC mining, but i get 200kHash/sec out of it mining LTC using Scrypt.

wow, that is quite the scam site you found, OP.

I just chatted with an "Amy". They are apparently selling their pre-order spots in the queue. You have to dig a little bit into their Delivery info and Terms & Conditions to discover that, though.

Smells like Scam Spirit to me. Run, don't walk, away from GetMiner.
