So FPGA's are not that bad after all (If you only look on electricity consumption):
On purchase price they are aweful though:
| $/GH |
zTEX | 1450 |
Avalon | 110 |
BFL | 22 |
But if you look how many BTC they will give, I think buying FPGA's around christmas 2011 kicks all ASIC's in the butt!
Edit: Just need a timemachine and someone that gives a crap!

You just know it is a sad state of affairs for the gene pool .... when an individual wants a time machine to go buy FPGA's... when in reality he should be buying bit-coins.
