So seems like my deal will go through with them, but they wont be able to send out my shipment until the first week of feb. As soon as I have the final numbers per unit and the freight shipping cost from them ill open up another thread for a group buy-in. It will most likely be conducted in a similar fashion to my USB scrypt stick pre order (except you wont have to wait months for these . All BTC will be pooled in a public address that I will send directly to bitmain, they'll pallet drop ship all the units to me in NY, and ill simply slap a shipment label on them and send them out to you guys.

I know some of you guys have PMed me already, but ill start putting a serious list together with the number of units you guys are interested in so if you haven't already shoot me a PM with the number you want (figure around $1600 each unit).

I wish I could say I am a fan of Bitmain products... But that would be a lie.  Having owned the A4's before jumping into the L3's I can say that the build quality seems to be better on the A4's.  Inno did a good job and appeared to use rugged well made stuff to build their miners.  They are heavy, and ruggedly made.  Even the heat sinks on the boards are massive.  After that experience with the A4 you have an expectation of something similar with the L3 miner, but it isn't built nearly as ruggedly as the A4 sadly.

So far I love the L3.
