Wish I could buy one of these but as a poor university student I definitely can't. My tuition of $4,800 could definitely buy some mining power.. Lol
If you live in a dorm with "FREE" electricity, you might be able to work a deal with someone. You host their miners and you get a cut of the earnings.
That'd be a good idea.. wish I knew someone, lol!
I'd host it for free even, I don't care!
You could always pick up an older miner from eBay or any of the forums. Since your power is free, efficiency is not that important.
