What do you think the time frame is? Thanks.
Considering FPGA's haven't really materialized yet (yes I know some are selling, but they're simply too low hash rate for large scale mining), I wouldn't be counting on ASIC's anytime soon. If you want to build a large farm, GPU's are going to be your only game for a while. Build a GPU farm, it'll probably ROI before ASIC's ever materialize.
