Is there anything out there that is at least as affordable $/MH and under $500 as GPU for a beginner to test off of Wink  Ideally would like to test off a raspberry pi.

If you don't care about hash speed, Black arrow (fpga) and  bit fountain (USB asic) each have something for around ~375 USD though they both are pretty low hash rate (300Mhs?).

At the moment don't care for speed but feel its pointless paying 10x $/MH for ASIC/FPGA compared to GPU.  For instance 7870XT costs $250 and can do 450-500MH/s.  If I'm not paying for electricity what is the point paying $1000-3000 for the same thing?  I'll look into the two you mentioned.

You might want to check out this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209750.msg2197347#msg2197347

Only the last three rows of the table are currently useful... but maybe it will improve as Avalon starts shipping chips, etc.

Right now I believe the earliest option is BlackArrow with arrival around July?
