Re: {BFL} Here's a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK at your Monarch!

300 euros in Finland. [...] Maybe I'll edit a pic in this post later on when I get home from work. [...]

WoW, that really is a good price! Do post those pics, please. Especially a screenshot with bfgminer running would be appreciated too, thanks!

It's about average, I'd say. That's $380, and the AM Prismas are ~$560 for double the hashrate.

And when would you actually have those Prisma's "in hand"?

Mid to late October, probably. That's why it's average instead of being worse than the Prisma.

Ah, pre-order... So minus three weeks (at least, incl. P&P) of mining...
Speaking of P&P; how much was that?
Oh, wait! They're produced in China, right? So some 20+% import duties/taxes would have to be paid too...

1. Yes. As I said, the lost mining time is part of the reason why $380 for 700GH/s is comparable to $560 for 1400GH/s.
2. Postage is included in the AM price
3. Depends where you live

Now, relax. It's not a bad price by any stretch of the imagination, especially for a Monarch as they're kind of a novelty right now. It's just not a stellar price, it's about average for what the market would pay.

Well, actually shipping originally was not included:

[...] Shipping method outside mainland China is DHL by default. Shipping fee is 1 BTC per full set. [...]

But if AM has different terms please post a link... (since I can't seem to find it).

And since we're talking EU (Netherlands/Finland) as you might have read, we're talking import charges too (+20%)...

So I'll stick to my original assertion of this being a "great price" for a unit "in hand" in Finland, if you don't mind... Grin
