Also 1/5th the energy efficiency that BFL originally promised when taking orders, and their most vocal spokesperson claimed that there was no way that they'd be significantly more power-hungry than predicted, that anyone who suggested otherwise was trolling, and that the only reason to draw attention to the fiasco when their FPGA mining hardware which was announced with impressive efficiency and blew out the power budget so badly they had to redesign the boards was to shill or troll. Right up until they blew their power budget and had to redesign the ASIC boards.

Additionally, he tried to convince people to buy BFL rather than one of the competing boards by arguing it was so much more power efficient miners using them would be forced to shut down. It's barely more power efficient than ASICs which shipped months ago, and those companies are already looking at newer models.

Oh, for what it's worth that's also less than 10x the power efficiency of the best FPGA boards...
