You're too late, the first ASICs are already being shipped. By the time you get one, it'll take quite awhile to earn back the investment and start profiting I should think -- though I haven't done the math to back that up, bear in mind.Mining is no longer profitable, as far as I know. Every thing I read seems to say the same thing: people have been lucky to break even, if they did at all. A select few got in early enough or sunk in enough to begin with that they made a small profit, but nothing worth the time and effort and risk.
