Do you really think that he, as an employee of KNC will tell you this so that people will quote him later if it takes longer than 3-4 months? As much as I like KNC that's one reason I decided not to go with Neptune (another reason is not having enough money). Don't want to go through stress of waiting like waiting for October unit. Nevertheless, needless to say, it was a great feeling once I received it, to just plug it in and it starting to hash.
