had a same problem
knew about BTC in 2011, but thought this ship has already sailed although actually I would have won so much money since then if I already started at that time.
The problem is that the only comany you can currently purchase ASICs from is Butterflylabs, bcs Avalons last batch of mining rigs was already sold out 5 minutes after they opened the pre-order on their website ;-) BFL though...if you order a rig now, it will defintely take at least 2 months before you will be served but it might also take one year before you receive it.
just our luck, that we started thinking about all that much too late. currently I am only kind of stock exchanging on mtgox and bitcoin.de oooor pyramining:
If you click here
http://www.pyramining.com/referral/2ncr3dgqp and register with your BTC-adress you already have an account -> completely anonymous! When you use this referral link you will start with a 10% bonus for mining (if you register without a referral link you only start with 2 or 5% bonus or so). What do you have to do? Well, you can just deposit bitcoins there (starting at 0.1 BTC! good choice if you´re not completely trusting this page). At 10% bonus you currently mine at a rate of about 10 Mhash/BTC.
10 MHash/BTC is of course not very much, but here´s the thing: you will also get active referral links with which other people can create accounts with their BTC-adress on pyramining.com. Every used referral link gives you an extra 10% bonus. I am mining there for one week and already have a bonus of 60% ;-)

If you think that post helped you I would be very happy with 0.02 BTC to 15oK8nTR7UhycbEhVK7GydVhJd518tLqrP
