I believe many of you are following the ROCKMINER thread, but just in case: They just released the specifications for their first product. Sales seem to be starting shortly/now(!?) as well. When considering the power consumption, keep in mind this is a nominal consumption and it includes the whole miner hardware and fan. Furthermore it only features 4 chips, so the whole overhead may again be significantly less when it comes to large scale mining boards. Gen 3 hardware is beginning to ship! Awesome, huh?

Just saw that and ran some quick numbers.  Payback is questionable even with 25% difficulty increase per month and cheap power...

Let's hope that the overhead is cheaper for larger miners.
