Interest check in a mining rig (UK)

All parts are less than 1 year old. The cards, frame and PSU are less than 6 months old. I was mining BTC with this
rig (free power) and now with the difficulty increases I wanted to make the changeover to scrypt mining. However due to some constraints
on my available time and space I cannot maintain and operate this rig at my current location anymore so the changeover to scrypt based mining never happened.

Maybe someone with a few LTC rigs wants some more hashing power or maybe you want a rig to get started.

I would prefer to sell this in one go instead of parting it out

Escrow is welcome and shipping is covered by me as I do with all my items.

PARTS LIST:

1 ALuminium frame courtesy of gigavps (has some black tape around some of the bars to make it easier on the eyes, i had some issues putting it together and had to hammer it something serious to get a joint out, the frame itself is still aligned perfectly and is not bent or broken in anyway, just a bit scraped and dented under the taped sections)
1 ASUS p8z77-v pro motherboard (with original box, atx powerbutton wired up, will come with sata cables I/O plate etc.)
1 intel G1610 CPU and stock cooler
1 fractal design 1000W PSU (80+ gold rated)
2 XFX 7970s core edition GPU (single fan model, i believe they are TNFC model)
1 XFX 7970 DD edition GPU (dual fan model, TDFC model)
assorted risers that are unpowered, x1 and x16 (enough to run the 7970s and a few spares of each type)
mining grade RAM
I shall throw in a free agility3 SSD for the buyer, (used, lightly)

With some OC'ing I was managing around 1.9-2Gh/s with this rig. I know that 3 7970s should hit 2.1 without any real issues although because these are XFX cards they dont play as nice with miners as some of other brands tend to do. Someone with experience and the knowhow could flash these cards to achieve those higher rates I believe, although that is a task for a miner with more time and experience than I have.


I hope I havent left anything out. If anyone has any questions then please feel free to ask.

Price i'm looking for is £950, payable in GBP by way of bank transfer or by BTC.

Discount available for bank transfer method, , some aluminium casascius coins and a few stickers from min€r. I can also throw in a 5870 that mines great but has video issues. Up to the buyer if they would like this.

Thanks for reading and check out some pictures below

PM me offers if my listed price isnt to your liking.

What size is the SSD? I might be interested in that.

120GB I believe. Its an OCZ agility 3 model SSD.

I would be looking for around £70 for this. I'll cover p+p.

Bump - £900

£850, final price drop and then its ebay - bump

Parting out on ebay and here.

CPU is gone

I'll take the SSD, for a realistic price my man...... ;)

1BTC for the SSD and ill cover shipping, that means youre getting it for around £70

Looks like it will go on ebay for that price (£70 plus or minus a few pounds)

Looks like you'd better ebay it my man - I just bought two brand new ones for less than that here:

http://www.waeplus.co.uk/item/143761/HyperX-3K-Internal-Solid-State-Drive-%28SS

Job jobbed  ;)

£850 for a 3 thrashed graphics cards and half a PC ? I reckon you'd be lucky to get half of that. Do you realize that you could buy 18 Block Erupters for that which will give you ~6 GH/s ?

With respect, you can't mine anything else but BTC with USB erupters - and you definitely can't play games with them. In 2 -3 months those erupters will be worthless due to diff. GPU's are dead for BTC minig - but great for everything else. And they have resale value.

Give the guy a break eh?  ;D

Peace.

Thanks for your input IYFtech, I appreciate the speedy reply. I wanted to purchase a few things from WAE before but their reviews always threw me from ordering, I hope your SSDs land without any problems :).

AZW409: In terms of straight hashing power for sha256 based miners then you are on a pretty logical path. But this rig can be used for more than just sha256 mining as its an excellent motherboard and frame, the 3 cards a far from trashed as they were only mined on for a short while, the PSU is gold rated and good for another PC or miner for at least 3 years hardcore use, also I hear that those block erupters cant play a hell of a lot of games lol.

To me I would be happy with around:

£230 per GPU, i'll split up and throw in the remaining risers I have
£90 for the PSU,
£90 for the board, (comes with free RAM)
£70 for the SSD,
£40 for the frame
£35 for the 5870 that mines but doesn't display video properly

I will cover shipping for all of these items, everything has a retail box except for the SSD, frame and the 5870

I also have some various other PC parts and I also have an optiplex 780 with a 3470 I think it is, it has the dms-59 port for the old dual display connectors. This has 1GB of ram and is available for purchase for £80, does anyone need a HP B+W or color laser printer or a HP ScanJet 4070 Flatbed Scanner? Shipping on these heavier items will need to be covered by the buyer though. I welcome you to organise your own courier

These are all listed on ebay and if you see them on there you will notice they are slightly cheaper here :) no fees!
