Considering lots of ppl bought & never got their ASICs (yet), I'd be cautious. Very cautious. Remember: time is factor. Every passing month you need better equipment for the same (i.e. amount BTC mined in pool) return on computing power.
Yikes! Thanks for the heads up. I emailed them a week ago, and they still haven't gotten back to me. Good to know.
I've heard good things about their equipment, but I'll get it used or ebay if I really decide to go for it.
Any other suggestions on bitcoin mining?

They have delivered before. 13.000$ is a lot but there is group buys on bitcointalk.com. I put some bitcoins on on that. Will see how it goes. Also mining contracts is another way. I got 266GH from http://e-pickaxe.com/. Will see if I get my payout tomorrow I can put them as 100% green.
