FutureBit has put its Apollo III Full Node on sale at four Micro Center stores in Brooklyn, Miami, Tustin, California, and Austin, Texas. The first physical retail launch coincides with the opening of Micro Center’s 31st U.S. location and third store in Texas, while customers can also reserve a unit online for in-store pickup. The compact device, which also runs a full Bitcoin node, starts at $1,099.99 without an SSD and comes with a one-year limited warranty and U.S. assembly. In Turbo mode, it delivers up to 18 TH/s at about 325 watts, although home mining is not presented as a profit opportunity: at this hash rate, the theoretical wait to find a solo block can be measured in centuries. FutureBit did not disclose store inventories, Micro Center’s retail price, or whether the trial will expand beyond the four locations.
