Re: 1GH/s, 20w, $700 (was $500) — Butterflylabs, is it for real? (Part 2)
How can the lead time be the same for a completely undesigned and untested device be the same as one that is already on the production line and due to hit the shelves in a week?
Heh, I'll bet that if anyone actually purchased the Rig Box, they would drop EVERYTHING, including the singles, to do whatever they were/are planning to do with it. (Make something, abscond, buy a car, etc)The rig box does not have an ETA. The Singles are 4-6 weeks from time of order; the rig box has no such wording on their order page.
I emailed them on Dec 16th about the rig box and got these replies same day:

Hi Mel. I just got done speaking with someone else who asked the very same question. Rig Box orders placed today have an expected delivery of 8 weeks.

The pre-order period will end on public demonstration of the production Rig Box units. Sounds a bit dodgy to me !? First get the fools to pay up for a special price then demo the unit publicly ( which may never happen as they have ran off with 25k easily ) 
The price will go up at that point by a margin not yet determined.
