Right now I've earned enough money to buy myself a donut and some coffee after mining for oh, 48 hours straight.
When the ASICs come in I should expect to be earning a buck a year on my PC. Damned lunchboxes.
If I bought a Jalapeno or other one of those, combined with everyone else buying one, I wouldn't be surprised if I wind up at the same profit rate as I am now. Not really interested in investing in an box  unless I see a promising gain of at least $120 per month.
