Black.  Or fire engine red.
I want mine red with a twin white stripe.
How about we compromise:

I did the math:

BTCFPGA bASIC $1069.99 ÷ 27GH = $39.63/GH
1 year warranty
projected to ship in November/December of 2012

BFL Single 'SC' $1299.00 ÷ 40GH = $32.48/GH
6 month warranty
projected to ship in October of 2012

but yes, competition is good.

Aren't these numbers estimates though? I think it may be a little too early to decide.

The GH/s numbers are estimates, but the prices are already set.

Still no word on MHs/J. This could get interesting especially for people with expensive electricity... Even if one has higher cost per MHs it might be cheaper in the long run due to using less power.

It'll definitely be interesting to see finalized specs for both.

I hope they arent gonna be that crappy white color like your fpgas lol

we can have the pcb boards silk screened to be any color pretty much have not gotten that far yet to pick out a color
i just hate that standard green pcb look

The white was actually my idea, lol is it really that ugly?

The white is horrible, reminde me of 1970's prototyping boards!

I vote red!

p.s. Ordered and paid for 2. Excited!

well, my admittedly limited understanding of PCB functionality being what it is, i don't see why not. i mean, the material the substrate is made of doesn't matter at long as it's nonconducting, right? sure, they're usually... what, some sort of fiberglass based board? but couldn't a PCB just as easily be plastic or glass, technically speaking, anyway?

*ahem* sorry. i got off on a bit of a tangent there...

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

People have used glass and semitransparent flexible materials such as kapton, however I think economically glass is more expensive and kapton doesn't have high heat/chemical resistance.

The GH/s numbers are estimates, but the prices are already set.

Therefore, $s/Ghash are estimates. In fact "estimate" implies a guess based in some facts, while this is based simply on the claims of the merchants.
From what we've seen in the past, my estimate is that BFL claims are likely overblown. I don't know enough about cablepair's history, so I can't make estimates there.

Looking good cablepair  Grin

Price is spot on with BFL,or close enough for me & the warranty is great  Wink

Now will he be offering the buyback (trade in) like BFL does??? He was talking about it,If so,then a really great deal for his old customer base too  Cool

Their first product's specs were overblown (1GH/s@20Watts ?), but the estimates for their 2nd product were pretty damn accurate (25GH/s@1.2KWatt vs. 25.2GH/s@1.25KW).
