ASICS of course are the first preference, but if I needed to setup something within 2  - 3 weeks, how can I get 1500 Ghash/s in place?

What would it cost?

If you buy 3x 7950 (Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 GV-R795WF3-3GD.) you will reach that goal.
Mine currently runs @550Mh/s, but as far as I heard, you can even push it to ~600Mh/s
Multiply that with 3... voila


Sorry, I read 1500Mh/s. Ignore that

Offer a huge sum of money to Avalon batch I owners...
1500/60=~ 25 Avalons; offer each owner us$40,000,
pay for super fast shipment and you'll have it within the mentioned timeframe.

In total over us$ 1 million ...

Or buy 116 Block erupter blades ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.msg2132683#msg2132683 ) for 5566,84 BTC (47,99 a piece), which is around $650,000.

Friedcat

a 10 Ghash 150 * 50 BTC = 825000 $

they are actually overclockable to 13 Ghash

a 3 Ghz GPU rig will cost about $2000,- (bulk pricing :))
So 500 of these rigs will set you back $1.000.000,-

if u did this with GPU rigs, what would u buy? 7970s or 7950s?  full specs would be great to know.

are there no FPGAs available anywhere?

better to buy HD7990, for density

1000 of those overcloked can reach 1500GH


cost $1M

If you want 1500 Giga hash/second contact me, I have access to bulk asic discounts right now and they are cheaper than advertised on this forum.

Not for me, but the person inquiring for the quote seems to be extremely capable of spending a pretty penny.

Been talking to KNCMiner as well, they seem to have the best balance between cost and timelines for now.

Yeah KNCMiner are going 28nm as long as they ship in September there by far the best option IMO.  Once KNCMiner are shipping unless there is a cheaper 28nm EU supplier I'll be ordering off them.  Also another plus factor as there shipping from the EU all electrical items must have a twenty-four month warranty.

it is 400watt at max

anyway i was just answering to the guy above me

This would be the easiest way to do it and get it setup within 2-3 weeks, assuming you can handle the logistics of it.

Going with KNCMiner would only cost $30,000 and there 28nm so out of the current generation of ASIC there'll be the last to retire by far.  Tho if they turn into another BFL the Blades would be the best bet and by September BFL will either be shipping next day or gone.

1.5 TH/s - that's a mini-rig, right?

Man, the things that could have been...

Their prices are terrible compared to BFL or the DIY kits such as the Klondike that uses the Avalon chips, but ASICMiner blades (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.0) are the only way to go. Even the Avalon boards look like a steal compared to those, but ASICMiner is the only one to reliably ship any product of that magnitude.

Since they're the only one, they can charge whatever they want, and they've decided on just barely beating out GPU sales.

I advise caution with dealing with people on this thread.  Caution with the OP and people contacting you saying they are associated with the OP.  its already happened to me and the information / discussion we had does not add up correctly.

I have not contacted anyone and no one has PM'd me as well. All discussions on this topic are on this thread.
