As someone further up this thread mentioned; it is best for the community as a whole if the majority of users (especially the older ones) don't support any pre-order model businesses. There are far better options in terms of companies who are actually shipping in hand hardware now.
With all of the recent cases of companies failing to delivery on promises of hardware, hash rate and on time, I simply can't understand why anyone would want to fund them.

tl;dr:

Don't fund an unknown company asking for "pre-order' money. It usually doesn't end well.
