Does FPGA still worth $2000?

[angelo]

I am thinking to buy this FPGA from this seller to experience mining. Do you think it worths $2000?

Considering, BFL made an update that they should be shipping late next week (doubt it, but thats what was said), 3 batches of avalons being shipped, i don't think it would be worth it.

Would take a very long time, if ever to recoup your $2000 investment.

No.

With 1.6GH/s, it generates about 0.12BTC per day at current difficulty.

Even if you have FREE electricity AND bitcoin difficulty never increase, it takes 185 days to pay for itself.

To me, its value is below $500
