Sounds like the only benefit a home user can get from GPU mining, as noted a few posts up, is availability of hardware, since GPUs are a general commodity more-or-less equally available to anyone. In any other aspect of mining economy we have the same scenario as with ASICs - bulk pricing of machinery and energy will still win out.
ASICS and ASIC creators have basically destroyed home mining and you guys want to go to bat for them, sounds like a sucker for punishment or battered spouse syndrome thing is going on here.
GPU farms are bad but Scummy asic companies are 10 times worse if you don't get that check out all the threads of folks ripped off and STILL being ripped off by these clowns.
Even in its heyday sp-tech actually screwed the ealier adopters of the sp3500 with under spec equipment they had to issue coopons for that we had to use to buy MORE hardware from them or paltry refunds.
I remember waiting two months over the time i was supposed to receive my sp3500 and the funny thing is SP-Tech was the BEST OF THE BUNCH lol other chip makers were far worse with thier datorhalls etc.
