Thanks guys!

But this sort of a necro thread everyone's been posting in. If you check the timestamp, I originally asked the question back in July 2013. This was when BFL started shipping their units and people started to receive some of the very first (SHA-256) ASIC miners. There was lots of questions and speculation back then, but it has mostly since become common knowledge.

Again, thanks for your answers and help. But this thread is getting kind of old...
