Let me explain a bit about why our shipping of product is going to be totally different moving into the ASIC arena.

Right now, we have to rely on outside vendors for many of the parts that go into an FPGA single.  Couple that with the fact that the FPGA single is a complicated piece of machinery and the manufacture and assembly of an FPGA single is very labor intensive.

With the ASICs we are moving the manufacture of a large portion of it in house.  This will cut our supply chain issues down dramatically and allow us to build product as required to fulfill orders... we've invested quite a lot of money in building up our manufacturing and assembly facilities so that we aren't in the position we are in now and forced to rely on the timetables of other companies for some components.  Strangely, the biggest trouble we have is getting the most common stuff on time (fans, heatsinks, etc...).  Then there is the fact that the MiniRig and the Singles use different components, so we have to acquire and keep stock for both types.  With the ASIC generation, all of that will be shared between the units, so it cuts our supply issues in half and allows us to keep more stock.

tl;dr : We have made many changes for the ASIC generation that will make our production, assembly and shipping times measured in days, not weeks.
