Not sure bud... 300MHash isn't very much.  That alone might not entice a lot of people to buy it.  How much do they cost?

I ran some calculations and with the 300Mh/s hash rate and 2.6W consumption, this should only earn about $1.94 in bitcoins each day.  At the current exchange rate ~1 Bitcoins / 130 USD, it would take 1 Year and 150.5 days to pay off the cost, assuming it doesn't get harder to mine bitcoins in that time period.  I guess that's not too ridiculous??

Though this is assuming the computer isn't using any electricity and is being ran continuously, so it will probably realistically take more than 2-3 years to earn back the $1000.
