I was checking the avalon site and i found that the price of a rell with 2500chips x 1.5gh/s, totaling 3750gh/s in chips "just" cost 15 bitcoins. (than is like 80% off the price per gh/s of final products on sale).
And guess what.... INSTANT DELIVERY which means the chips would be with buyer in just +-5days (from china).

My question is, if i order this and hire someone specialized (and very capable) in the subject,  could he be capable to work this "raw" material and build me a kick ass miner like butterfly or others around there; or it's just too complicated by going from a single chip to the final product??

I appreciate your attention

No, don't do it unless you actually know someone who is already building miners and can work your chips into their production line. Generally, don't use these chips either. They are very inefficient. I have one and I am not impressed. You are better off using bitfury chips, bitmain chips, or planning to build something with future chips on order (from blackarrow, bitmine.ch, or cointerra). I would not trust any of the other start ups.

I thought about something similar with bitfury chips and it just did not make sense in the end. It is far easier and often times cheaper to just buy fully manufactured miners in bulk.

Why not buy 20 antminers from bitmain? They normally ship in less than four days.

EDIT: Better yet, buy 10 and wait for your ten coupons to show up. Then order ten more.  Wink
