Hey, I don't mean to poop on the party but: KnC is selling the mini Titan (150 Mh/s) for $5.5k or 300 Mh/s for $10k.

 $12.5k for 75 Mh/s?  Assuming a one month head start is worth about 10 BTC, you guys are still betting that your technical + business rep is better than KnC's?

This is a second reason that my idea of a 1 module machine with out a psu would sell.

 I would spend 2.5 k maybe even 3k  for a 15m machine that had no psu and 4 empty slots for expansion.  I can mine ahead of the curve and if I desire add modules one at a time.

The builder has an easier item to ship safely  yeah same size but mostly empty inside fill it with safety packing.  you the owner adds a psu and you the owner can decide the correct time to upgrade.

A gridseed blade is around 1500 and 5m.

 so a 15m machine at 2.5 to 3k delivered working by may 5-8  is far better. I realize the builder needs a price point to make money.  

We all would buy this at 100 bucks and the builder would go broke.  So somewhere in the 2.5 to 3.5k price range there is a good number for the buyer and the seller.

as the buyer you can adjust to the price of the gear dropping.  I have 30 5 chip gridseeds.  first one I purchased  was 350 usd.  the last 5 I purchased were 102 each.

I could do the same with a machine with space for 5 modules. Buy high and as price drops add one or two modules at a time. Also i avoid too much watt use in the summer coming up.

1 module is around 180 watts.

I can do $3500 with a system with 1 module, 5 umpty slots for upgrade.
