$1500 Habanero
   $95 H80i http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B009ZN03AA
  $170 Rosewill 1kW Gold 83A single 12v+ http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-CAPSTONE-1000-M-Continuous-Certified-Modular/dp/B00GMDENMA/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1399087596&sr=1-3

Grand Total = ~700 GH/s for $1765 without controller

Same price as ~6 S1 Antminers
~$1500 = 6 X ~$250 (.55 BTC)
~  $240 = 6 X 500W EVGA PSU http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_20?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1399088255&sr=1-20

Grand Total = ~1100 GH/s for $1740 no controller needed

Yes the S1s pull double the power... but for 50%+ the hashrate in this pricing comparison.

They also have already been assembled so are stack-able, do not require CAT5 if you want to use the wireless and are also in stock now.

No offense MrTeal... I just agree that the Habanero missed its comparable price mark...

Nice analysis!  Just to be fair, if the power usage is double, an extra 700W can cost an extra $100/month if you live in high electricity cost area ($0.20/kWh).  On the other hand, the price of the S1 is constantly adjusting downward and has just dropped to 0.532 BTC.  With the price of BTC continue to be depressed at $430/BTC, the equivalent four S1 Antminers (720 Gh) is only $920.  So the Habanero is almost $600 more expensive.  Whether or not the energy and space saving is worth it is up to the individual miner.  I do hope MrTeal will reconsider their pricing especially considering the warranty is better with Antminers 90 days vs 14 days and Antminers ship in 2 days vs pre-order (how many days?).
