It does look a little funny, because these are not particularly good mining hardware. They are basically massively parallel sets of x86 CPUs, so the potential mining efficiency would be somewhere between a CPU and a GPU. On the other hand, a lot of people might find these useful, and if you can buy them with BTC, then great!

Unless, of course, it's really a scam, but who knows...

Seems like a scam as they cost waaaay more than 5 bitcoins.

These things cost about 5 times the price this guy is asking: http://ark.intel.com/products/71992/Intel-Xeon-Phi-Coprocessor-5110P-8GB-1_053-GHz-60-core

Almost sure it's a scam

Haha lovely. Claims to be able to sell hardware as expensive as this yet can't afford a domain or hosting. More than likely a scam. Below are a few of the users profiles based on the MTGox username:

All public information. If Jonathan comes in to this thread and wishes to clarify any misunderstanding then I'll be happy to edit this post out but this is clearly a scam. Poor website, no refund policy, no actual structure in their process all leads to this being a scam or very shambolic operation. This information was put up not to create a witch hunt but to allow users to get in touch with you directly in case you fail to deliver on your products.

Estimates for hash rate are around 280mh/s

USD 595.6 / 280mh = $0.000002125 per hash

The reason I posted this thread was because I know someone who chats on Cryptsy that ordered one.
