Cool. Thanks for the extra info. Another question. What is considered "BFLabs hardware"? AMD GPUs?

^^ I know that. I'm just asking what is approved hardware when I stated "BFLabs Hardware".
Maybe I said that wrong in my last post.

They are ASIC(Application-specific integrated circuit) boards.
Taken from their website:
Butterfly Labs manufactures a line of high speed encryption processors for use in bitcoin mining, research, telecommunication and security applications.

Anything more specific? Technically every GPU and CPU out there under the sun is an ASIC.

When they say ASIC they refer to SHA256 hashing specific ASIC. Look at there order page feel free to ask whatever your curious about.

How are the devices from BFL expected to affect bitcoins? Will they cause the bitcoin value to drop sharply?

I wouldn't be surprised if there has been some discussion about how the hardware like BFL will affect bitcoin mining and how it will affect the countless amount of GPUs in the future. Its really too early to tell or predict.
I haven't order just yet. I'm still deciding.Last edited by werty316; 12-24-2012 at 07:41 PM.

So.... you're expected to buy higher-end hardware? Why is it especially good to buy from butterfly labs?

As he stated...

I say Butterfly Lab because they have the lowest power requirements for all the manufactures coming out with such products. Also because they also have a fpga edition "BFL Single" that are currently out and mining.

I think I've done enough reading to convince myself that there's no point in ordering the ASIC right now, as it won't be cost effective.
