I have updated the spreadsheet to reflect recent announcements, like SOLID PI, and is available here:
Feel free to edit it, it's open to anyone for edition.

I've added new machines to the Google Spreadsheet for NGS, with the Ion Torrent announcements, and more details on Reagents prices from PacBio, Illumina and SOLID.
There are still empty fields, like base price for an Illumina IIx and HiSeq2000, which are a mystery that cannot be Googled for.

After a bit of inquiring, I've added the price at 500k for both GAIIx and HiSeq2000 from Illumina. If anyone knows of a better estimate for it, feel free to update the spreadsheet:

I've tentatively added two rows for the technology average read error rate. Any suggestions on a comprehensive error study rather than relying on the initial papers for each technology?Comment

It would be great if people could reference the appropriate information source for these numbers.--

Done! I've put the reference in for the rates I've quoted.Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
