its certainly harder to calculate the cost and value of the hashfast equipment with the MPP.

Agree the prior post does a bad job because it is x GH/s for delivery in Dec/Jan and then 4x GH/s for delivery in Feb (April? May?).

i mean, after a long period of time you get some of the pieces to make the rest of your miners, but not all the pieces, so no doubt they will happily sell you the systems with mounting screws, cooling systems, power supplies etc... for.. I'm guessing $500-1000 each, and you'll need 2 or more than them.. right?... on top of whatever free mpp gear they're going to give you.

$500 to $1000 per board?  HF would be asinine to try and charge that.  The good news is a user could simply by their own gear.  User needs to supply power supply and cooling module.  $60 per board for cooling module and if the boards use 250W to 300W ea that is 1/4th a 1250W PSU or say $80 per module.  So maybe $140 per module or $640 for four, plus some DIY case and a couple screws.  Someone would be downright stupid to pay $4,000 for that.
