say several word about these bitfury chips?
How about "$1m minimum investment"?
So their minimum investment is 1m?
I've seen people who got ready hardware from Bitfury but they invested no more than 200k. They just don't want to share any info.
As others said in this thread, you might want to experiment with mining before building an ASIC.
You can try by mining with your own computer. Although it's not profitable, it will will help you understand the basics.
I've been around for a while (bitcoin wise) and even with an engineering background, I'd have trouble building an ASIC without asking for help from an electrician.
