Found someone wanting to unload a couple of these for $200 each. Do you think its a good deal with the difficulty rising and ASIC's shipping for 800MH? Running a couple NVIDia systems which are horrible and would like to at least be somewhat in the mining game and seems this would be a good start.

http://modminerquadstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50

Features:
4x Spartan 6's 800+mhash @ ~ 40 watts
USB interface for configuration and communication
72MHz ARM Cortex M3 for USB interface
Our own custom Firmware
Super easy Firmware updating for the ARM chip
Temp sensor on each FPGA card
Heatsink w/ cooling fan on every card
4x 3-pin headers to power standard fans
Draws from the 12V supply with 5A fuse at the Molex connector
LEDs to indicate that the FPGAs are configured properly
Modular design for seamless FPGA upgrades and repair
Ships Via USPS Priority Mail or International Priority Mail Unless you upgrade to USPS Express or International Express

What do you think? Thanks!

ok sweet! I will go ahead and get a couple to play with then Smiley They are actually 2 BTC so now to decide is it better to buy the BTC in straight $USD being $212 at current rate or trade the LTC I already own for BTC via BTC-e then send that as payment? So many options and appreciate all the advice!

Much sweeter deal than a Block Erupter, but http://www.coinish.com/calc/ (expert) is still showing it never pays for itself. But perhaps difficulty will level off a bit, and there's also the resale value, so good one. Congrats.
