1) BitForce SC Jalapeno: a USB powered coffee warmer providing 3.5 GH/s, priced at under $149

2) BitForce SC Single: a standalone unit providing roughly 40 GH/s, priced at $1,299

3) BitForce SC Mini Rig: a case & rack mount server providing 1 TH/s, priced at $29,899

This strikes me as very odd. You could make a much higher profit margin. Why on earth would you price these this low?

You seem to have delivered, if a bit tardily, so far, but this just leaves me stunned. Pricing this low cannot make any sense for your bottom line.
