The EFF built Deep Crack for less than $250,000, I thought he has make it with custom ASIC DES chips (called Deep Crack or AWT-4500) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_crack.

I would give you 150BTC for a miner implementation (vhdl or verilog) on Spartan-6. Maybe there are other user who would donate. You should write your Bitcoin address in your Signature
