Andy - thanks for asking. short story - when Simon was selling Gridseed Blades I bought from him - then he decided to go big time and jump in the deep end of the pool and I pre-ordered the Lunar Landers back in --- I think it was last April and delivery was scheduled May 1 - well I bought two at about $3,000 a piece and low and behold Simon said - full refund if I don't delivery by the last day of the month - well - he made it by the skin of his teeth only problem is that there was some big national holiday in China and over there there are no National Holidays - it's more like Holiday Week and we all had to wait over a week for our gear - then even before the fricking things arrived - Simon dropped the price by about 20% - talk about a bunch of pissed off customers - there were several of us.

Well to his credit I got a refund of the difference and have kept in touch with Simon since that time. When Simon announced these boxes back in September I was tempted, but I already had a pre-ordered two 250 MH/s Mining Asics Technologies Boxes which themselves turned out to be two months late - they arrived the 1st of November but were promised by September 1st. and so it goes...

I've been staying in touch with Simon and one thing I know is the the Chinese manufacturers have us all by the balls - it's as simple as that. Say what you want about Simon and you can say a lot - because he deserves a lot of criticism, but the bottom line is that he eventually delivers. He may not deliver on time but then again neither does anyone else.

And in a industry where most manufacturers have simply said fuck you guys - we're keeping what we build and we'll use it all to mine ourselves and sell your some hash, Simon is one of the very few who still sells equipment. There are a few others but in all honesty their prices simply cannot compare with what Simon has to offer and I do have faith that he'll deliver.
