I saw these miners awhile ago,say 2-4 months I think.

Very cool,but even then the power consumption was too much  Sad

Maybe look into the Scrypt miner market too,remember power consumption is the key selling point,keep it low & easy to use & you could have something!!  Grin

Browse this forum,there is ALOT of info here on who offers what at specific power & hashrates.

Here's another section of interest:

Oh...DO NOT DO PREORDERS!!!!! Sell from stock only please  Wink

Good luck Biostar!!  Wink

Thanks for getting back to us.

We have been intrested in the idea of Bitcoin for some time now but we havent seen what us as a company could do. We released out Bitcoin Pro Series of Motherboards and got a positive response from the public. We now know that the Mining world has mainly moved away from PC hardware and towards Custom designed miners with ASIC chips. We have never developed any ASIC chip before so our "bitcoin" Division got funds to preduce a Mining Asic and board. We developed our 110nm Chip to keep costs down and wanted to see how the public reacted. We got alot of Negitive feedback due to the 24pin connector and Power usage and so on but we also got lots of good feedback for us as a company so our "bitcoin" Devision is producing REV 2. Your feedback is helping us lots as a company preduce something the average user wants and the Pro user needs.

Thanks
Then you can play with a lot of formats, like a PCI Express 1x, I think you make a gread effort with this board, late to play the ASIC game, but a good starting point, I'm interest I your evolution of hardware, What do you think about a PCI Express raiser in a mini ITX MOBO for put your miners?, play whit the ideas, you have the technologi for it.
