Count me in for one or two, If only for the sake of decentralization.

Edit :  If this thing is to consume 600w, I think we can save almost 80$ for PSU + shipping.   I'd guess, like many miners, I won't have much use for these 80+ Gold PSUs

I really think that 600W number was a wild guess. It will be a lot less.
I trust ngzhang to make good technical choices.

The BFL singles plug into a computer.  These Avalon devices are stand alone.  A computer is at least 200W probably, right?  My question is how does BFL wattage + computer wattage compare with just the Avalon standalone wattage?
