Each unit costs 1599 USD ( 0.45672404 BTC; 33.3125 LTC ). Shipping costs will vary.
Planning to get 2 units as that is what my group can afford at the moment. Fingers crossed, we'll be logged in by then and ready to purchase.

Profitability

Well the initial batches of D3s I believe are still to be shipped this Sept/Oct. We don't know how drastic the change on mining difficulty will be. But at the current difficulty rate, using Coinwarz's mining calculator, a single D3 can generate about 3-4,000 USD in a month.?? (Sounds unreal). I tried doubling the value of the difficulty and it still gives about 2000 USD in a month!

We'll be fighting hard to get our hands on at least 2 rigs. Let's see how it goes.
