Buy Blue Fury, it is around that price anyway. And it does 2 - 2.7 GH/s compare to the Erupter which only do 355 MH/s

I'll sell you a 12 BE setup (with hubs) for $300. If you want to lose money, you might as well lose it someone here.  ;)

12 BE setup with hubs for $300!!  :o

That use way too much electricity.

If he really want I can sell him 2 of my BE with no hubs for $300. This will not take up as much space as your 12 BE setup with hubs.  ;D

If you want mining hardware go with the blades. I would just recommend investing it as you will make more than wasting it since ROI will never be even close to achieved with this difficulty spiking every few weeks.

If you like preorders, you can order up a 100GHps Black Arrow Prospero X1 for February delivery without exceeding your budget.

I'll sell you a virtual blade.  If you send me the BTC that a blade costs I'll send you what that hash rate would generate.  You can save on shipping.

Your best bet is to spend $200-300 on a share in a group buy as a piece of a bigger (and more efficient) miner. The other posters are saying get a blade or an erupter not because it's the best bang-for-the-buck, but because that's all that's out there for $300.

Done deal.

I would not spend $200-300 on hardware. Just buy that much worth of Bitcoin and sit on it.

If you really want to burn money on mining hardware, wait a bit longer for the BitFury sticks to become more widely available later this month.
