I was talking about the the orbs... Sorry about that. I wanted something that could mine BTC then switch to altcoins in the future
not a viable plan right now. the 5 chip units won't hash enough btc for the price. A few questions you mention power price is not a concern.
how much power do you have and what is the price you pay for it.
I ask because antminer s-1 units are still a good deal if your power is really cheap or free.
I had a 3 s-1 setup I under volted and under clocked them the 3 units got 420 gh at 560 watts.
If you have the ability to power the above setup even use 4 of them . at 560 gh and at 750 watts they are a good deal for you.
even 1 at 140gh and 180 watts will run very quietly . they go cheap right now
here is one on ebay overclocked it will be loud and pull 400 watts doing 200gh

either deal above is not terrible if your power is under 5 cents a watt.
