all orders will go to Avalon
Dude, no. I am not ordering something that uses 400 fucking watts. BFL could blow out their power consumption by 100% and still be a third of that.
Actually, once you find out what the feature set is, I am pretty sure the first thing that will happen is BFL customers will either:
A) Wish to bail at the very last minute...and BFL will (very likely) refuse customers their refund requests as they are already being assembled.
B) Wish for BFL to implement the same kinds of features...immediately....which won't be doable in the short term. Causing BFL customers to be upset that their money is tied up in a product that most of them won't want.
Which then begs the question:
Do you want to spend $1,300 at BFL or $1500 at Avalon once you know what the feature sets are?Why do you think they are being super secretive about what these features are exactly?

The feature-set is probably where Avalon will upset the remaining market.
(Don't ask me what I mean, I won't say anyway)
Wow.. the self denial is incredible. Yes, enjoy your 4U, 400w hashing monster, lol. Size a fucking refrigerator for 66 GH/s.
