What company to buy a miner from?

[tzortz]

I was planning on purchasing an X-3 because it's only 1000 watts for 2TH.
It seems though I may be better off buying a TerraMiner IV for the same 2TH but at 2100 watts.

Any thoughts?
Not concerned about power costs.  I am more concerned about my limited power capacity and heat.  I already have 2 ant miners.

Black Arrow do not have a working miner yet... or maybe ever.  This is a very poorly informed decision that you are almost guaranteed to regret.

I haven't ordered anything yet.  From what I've been reading in the forums lately I agree with you about Black Arrow.  Almost all the 2Th miner's I've seen are in the 2000+ watt range. So I am skeptical on how Black Arrow was achieving 50w for 100 GH and 1000 watts for 2TH.

Just looking for the best way to make the most of my income tax refund.

If you're serious about making the most of your income tax return. Dont touch mining hardware because you will never break even.

KNC fucked it up.
Bitmain's successful S1 , will become obsolete with difficulties, soon, coming.
S2 has problems, and no availability.

Only clones of 28nm could be viable solution. LKETC has nice prices with $2850 per Th/s, and always in stock.

I am trying the rest cloners, but no results yet.

All from personal experience.

I can't figure out what's the rationale to buy a miner at current prices!? You will never get your investment back - neither in BTC nor in $$$. Buy BTC or LTC instead!

So far the batch 2 S2's seem to be having fewer problems.  Although today is the first day that people are receiving them in volume so it's a little early to make bold statements about the rest of the batch.

Bitmain is the best choice due to good prices and ACTUALLY DELIVERING. Shucks, don't take my word for it, just ask around

To be honest I bought directly from LKETC, so I have no experience from resellers.

But now I will order with pcfli , he looks decent and has delivered on time to everyone.
He said he sells for $2850 each.
