I am wondering if anyone who has received and set up one of the ASICminer USB mining rigs has any stats to run through a profitability calculator.  I am aware the initial price paid is a big driver and my guess is people paying $300+ on eBay won't be seeing breakeven for some time, but I'm curious about the variable cost side of things.

US$300.00+?  That would almost make sense. try US$700+. personally, i don't see where the power savings are going offset the almost double the price of comparable GPU. If i remember right, these are 300Mh/s miners. I have trouble rationalizing more than US$1.00 per Mh/s. Are these people ever going to make their investment back? Just because i want try one, I've bid as much as US$430.00 for one and always get blown away before the auction closes. I doubt that i will ever get one at auction. sooner or later the price will cool some... I hope.

i don't have a way to measure their power draw, but the ones i've got are hashing at about 330 mhash on average.

i don't post much, but this space for rent.

If it is USB, then it should be below 5W, which is 5V*1A.
