Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
I wouldn't call it exactly "the best and most reliable hardware on the market right now" even if it's my opinion that isn't biased by the Group Buy that i'm organizing.
I invite you to my Group Buy. Even if it's a pre-order and people hate pre-orders, i promise you that when it comes to customer support you will be treated much much better.

True, that "best and reliable" comment was stretching it.
And I'd love to join in on that buy, problem is I'm totally championing the small fries because the house I'm renting won't support an SP30. As is I was really pushing it with maxed out GPU units strategically placed around the house when I did more scrypt mining, but I can't pull 1200W from a single outlet without blowing the breaker. And the owners are assholes, even though I offered to pay 75% they won't let us upgrade the power in this place. So I unfortunately must use smaller-scale hardware, so 2500W spread around the house in 8-900W chunks is just fine, 1000W and I have to be careful not to plug another USB hub in, but 1200W is a deal-breaker.
This is why I'm so adamant about smaller, lower-powered units. S1's are not worth it at the price, weren't worth it when they were selling for ~$3000 back in the day, not worth it now. Even if we took power price out of the equation (and mine sucks), it wouldn't possibly break even until August, and with the monsters you're group-buying I'm looking at August with the same eyes we watched the market with in March/April 2013 when AsicMiner was about to ream the network. Stormy clouds on the horizon, only people with the TH+ units are really invited to the party.
BTC isn't very friendly to the small-fry in the community anymore, but I doubt I'm alone in people with either expensive power or power draw limits where scaling out but not up is the only way to go. On the flipside, this is also why I have over $10k in Gridseed hardware on order and/or hashing right now. I can spread it across the house and the power draw won't come close to my old GPU farm. It could have been Ant units, Bitmain decided otherwise for me.
Spondoolies already have that covered:

They will have an option even for smaller customers too with 1 SP30 or some kind of a bundle for multiple customers so that shouldn't hold you back from ordering. Send them an e-mail if you don't believe me and they will fill you with some more details and after that hurry with your reservation fee
