Bitcoin Forum

Hi there,

For those that dont know me Ive ran 8MH (litecoin) 8GH (bitcoin) rigs for almost 14 months now (mining for around 9 months of this) switching between bitcoin and litecoin. I was one of the first big miners on litecoin and I like to think these rigs helped somewhat to the growth and popularity of Litecoin by offering a stable foothold.

Anyway I have links to the rigs below so you can see the setup.

Note these were run as an open rig, with no cases... I chose this as not only offering lower heat retention which increases the durability of the cards but also wires and connectors weren't struggling to fit in ports etc, so everything was gently held in place.

Hardware for sale:

20 x 5870 XFX cards (all unregistered and complete with all accessories in boxes) (cards good for at least 400MH each)
5 x 890fx Formula IV Crosshair AM3 boards (very high end with auto overclock and core unlock)
4 x OCZ 1250w gold rated PSU's (very high end with a stupid amount of wires)(able to run at least 4 gpus full speed, upto 6/7 gpus at full load)
3 x Athlon dual core cpus
2 x sempron 140 cpus
3 x 2GB corsair ram
3 x 750GB samsung HDD (currently have windows 7 and all mining software for bitcoin and litecoin, will be wiped if not specified)
40 x 120mm Antec 3 speed fans with switches
20 x GPU dummy plugs (to mine bitcoin making the cards think they are connected to a monitor)
15 x pci-e extenders (x16 speed)

Now all this stuff is sold as working, everything was running top notch before being packed. They were packed while using anti static protection, also given a LIGHT blast with compressed air... Some dust still remains as I will leave this to the buyer to care for their equipment.

As promised everything come in original matching serial boxes, with all accessories and wires and everything is unregistered.

History:

The items were all purchased from overclockers.co.uk except the dummy plugs and extenders which were from cablesaurus.com. As you can see these rigs are meant for serious hash power but on a budget, I have gone AMD as there was no cost or speed benefit by going intel.

They have run stable at sensible speeds. No voltage overclocking was taken place, only simple overclocking to a point where it all ran at a stable 80c temp.

If everything is purchased by one buyer not only will I personally deliver everything to their house (with cash or coin on delivery) I will also offer to help setup and give you troubleshooting and help for weeks after purchase date.

Unfortunatley as I cannot trust the care taken by buyers I cannot offer refunds or returns. Please note everything is unregistered so there may be a chance you can get a RMA is anything goes bad (which it shouldnt).

OFFERS:

Now in terms of price this whole setup cost me almost £6000 / $10'000, I would like sensible offers, and if everything was taken in one purchase or a bulk percentage of it then I will offer a good discount. Im currently looking for around £3500 for it all. The GPUs are rare and still command a premium of £110 on ebay, and the psu's go for £130, the motherboards for £90.

Anyone who buys this will be getting a huge discount on street prices as well as a ready to role litecoin or bitcoin mining rig.

Any questions, just pm, or goto btc-e.com, Im always chatting on there as 'Koolio'. Many people out there can vouch for me, and ideally a UK buyer is found so we can do a face to face transaction.

I'm UK too - what would you be looking for for 10 of the 5870s?

How much for 1 GPU? What type of RAM? How much for 1 extender? And hook a Singh brotha up!

prices are roughly £100 a gpu, extenders and plugs are £5 and ram is going to be around £10-20 for corsair ram, ill get spec later today

DDR2 or 3. Pls post pic of extender! :D

ddr3 4gb chips, I believe they are the lower end vengeance models but will double check tonight. I mistakenly assumed they were 2GB sticks, so price will be adjusted for this but will still be good.

As for the extenders it is these ones: http://cablesaurus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=9

I will upload actual pics of everything as soon as I can, just moving flats so may take a day or two

Damn, I needed DDR2, and you live in the UK, so shipping kills it :\

yeah thinking about making offer but shipping would kill me shipping to US.

Yha wish you lived in the us deff would pick up some new hardware.

Let us know when you're done with all your moving. I'm not in the UK but I'm in the EU, so not nearly the distance of the US.
