I bought two 6950's for 190$ each a couple months ago and this looks like a great bang for buck deal for anyone starting up. Great cooler on it too. Am I wrong? Each of these cards should pull 500khash/sec for some litecoin awesomeness.

Just letting people know! I am tempted, but not sure if my OCZ 550w could handle any more cards.

i ran 2x 6950 with an 500W bequit, and it worked fine.

they cost new 190$ each? so id say i got it really cheap, paid 90€ each in a second hand buy

one of mine was $170 new on tigerdirect and the other $190 used ebay. I couldn't find anything cheaper. Today I see some for like $170 on ebay
