Pro tip: In order to generate BTC, you need to take them out of the boxes.

Simply building a pyramid out of them won't work.

I really hope this is a joke, otherwise return them asap.
If you can't return them, I'd jump  :o

As a point of interest what is the actual difference in hash rate between ATI and NVIDIA cards? Is there a thread somewhere?

This wiki page probably helps: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Basically, if the poster had been serious, it'd mean he bought cards capable of around 140Mh/s that use 244W of power to do it and cost $500 each while he could buy Radeon HD 6870 cards that can do 300Mh/s with 170W for around $200 each.

Nice joke, well played.  A little too obvious however.

Aw, I thought this thread was serious til I saw the pile of nvidia. Kudos to the guy who could afford that pile of 580s though.

The idiotic "U Jelly" comment gave it away for me.  To many tweenies use that term on Facebook.
